Serve Day 2025
Love in Action: NCCS Students Serving the Community
On Friday, May 16, the whole school will participate in our 3rd all-school Serve Day, spending the morning doing various service projects. The elementary - and some secondary - will do projects on campus, and most of the secondary will go out into the community.
It takes a lot of support to do this well, so we are hopeful that parents are willing and able to be involved. To participate, please complete this NCCS Serve Day Volunteering form. I am sure you will enjoy it! (Please fill out the form even if "all" you can do is give some supplies for some of the on-campus projects, or do some easy grunt work before or after to help prep or complete some things.)
Please look for a follow-up permission form for the secondary students!

Kate Hankland
Madeline Hancox
Maddie came to NCCS in preschool, so attended for 14 years. Throughout high school, she has been involved in Excelsior choir, quintet, and worship team. Maddie has fond memories of sophomore year, and especially yearbook class. There was a small group during that class period and they shared some fun times. Playing music, hanging out, connecting with people are all reasons why the leadership retreat is a favorite memory from senior year. Maddie would love to have music be a major part of her life going forward. She'll start by serving at Eagle Fern Camp this summer, then travel with family, followed by - hopefully - a long-term missions trip. Whatever happens beyond that, Maddie says, "Ultimately, I want my long-term goal to be what God wants me to do, and I will stay patient by waiting to see where he leads me." Ephesians 5:19-20 ESV is her favorite scripture, because it talks about making music from your heart to the Lord, and she loves to worship the Lord, and sing out to him.
Rider Joiner
Rider came to North Clackamas Christian for his junior high and high school years. While in high school, he played golf for 2 years with the joint NCCS/Country Christian team, he played in the band, and he was a member of National Honor Society. Rider has a couple of memories from this year that have been meaningful: it was nice to have all the seniors together at senior sunrise; and playing air-soft with some of the guys helped with bonding as a friend group. Rider will soon be heading to Utah State University to major in History and minor in Anthropology, also receiving a Certificate of Museum Studies. He would really like to work as a curator for a military history museum. Rider's favorite verse is Proverbs 27:17: "As iron sharpens iron, one person sharpens another."
Kian Hankland
Kian attended NCCS for seven years. During high school, he was on the soccer, basketball, and track teams; he played in band and sang with Excelsior Choir and Quintet; and he participated in NHS, ASB, and worship team. A distinct NCCS memory is from Outdoor School when Johnny got a stick in his leg. A favorite senior year memory is drinking pre-game booch at home soccer games. Kian plans to work toward a career in Mechanical Engineering and will start that path at George Fox University. He says that he is eager to see where the Lord will lead his life, and he is hopeful that starting a family will be a part of that plan. Kian's verse is fitting for this view on his future: "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps," Proverbs 16:9.
Sophia Campbell
Vivienne Hodder
Vivienne came to North Clackamas Christian in 6th grade. Her primary high school activities centered around music: Excelsior Choir, girls' quintet, and worship team. Vivienne remembers her 10th grade year as her best year of high school; one reason was because of 7th period yearbook class. It was relaxed and fun. This past year, the leadership retreat was a great experience, with some unscheduled times to make music and stay up late exchanging messages with friends in the girls' room. Vivienne wants to pursue an education in the Fine Arts; she'll start by attending community college. She would love to travel, for studying fine arts as well as for missions - like Mrs. B. She selected Psalm 23 as a favorite scripture: it was her Grandpa's favorite verse and, in her words, "[Christ] will instill peace in whatever phase of life I'm in. Just like He did for my Grandpa."
Andrew Lee
Andrew came to NCCS his freshman year. He has played baseball, sung with Excelsior Choir, and been a member of the worship team. Andrew has a specific memory of attempting a front flip off of a table, but landing on his back in front of, in his words, "the whole school." A different kind of memory is his recent mission trip to Mexico with his youth group, including many NCCS students. Andrew would like to eventually pastor his own church. To move toward that goal, he will pursue a Masters of Divinity at Corban University, or serve as an intern at his church. He selected Ephesians 4:1 as his verse: “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,”
Landon Bowker
Landon spent his entire school career at North Clackamas Christian. He played basketball and soccer in high school, and many of his best memories come from the good times during trips for away games. Landon enjoyed working on his senior project, saying that "it helped me develop my skills and gave me something to be proud of." Landon would like to work in the clothing industry and plans to attend the University of Oregon to study product design. He selected I Corinthians 10:31 as a favorite Bible verse: "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
