Re-Ignite 2025 Inspires Students to Grow in Their Faith

On May 15, students in grades 8 through 12 at Atlantic Christian School participated in Re-Ignite 2025, a special half-day spiritual event focused on encouraging students to grow in their walk with God.

The morning began with worship led by the Gospel of Grace worship team, creating a sacred time for students to focus their hearts on the Lord. Throughout the event, students heard powerful messages from guest speakers Jesse Stokes, John Mol, and Brian Soucier. Each speaker challenged and encouraged our students to stay grounded in God’s Word and live out their faith daily.

We are grateful for this opportunity to set aside time during the school day to pour into the spiritual lives of our students.

Thank you to the Gospel of Grace team and our speakers for pointing our students to God’s truth and encouraging them in their faith journey.

Re-Ignite Spiritual Retreat Set for May 15 – A Special Day to Refocus and Grow in Faith

Students in grades 8 through 12 are invited to attend this year’s Re-Ignite — a special half-day retreat focused on deepening their walk with God. The event will be held on Wednesday, May 15 from 8:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon in the ACS gym.

Re-Ignite is a time set apart for students to step away from the busyness of school life and spend intentional time in praise, worship, prayer, and reflection. The retreat will include a time of worship led by Gospel of Grace’s Mrs. Jessica Samuels, followed by inspiring messages from guest speakers.

We are praying that this year’s retreat will once again be a meaningful and life-changing experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect with God and with one another!

8th-12th Grade Students Challenged to Rekindle Their Relationship With God at Re-Ignite Retreat

Students in the 8th-12th grades were challenged to rekindle their relationship with God and to pursue new ways to strengthen their spiritual life during a half-day spiritual emphasis retreat called “Re-Ignite” held on April 20.

Re-Ignite was held from 8:45 a.m. to noon in the ACS gym and included time for praise and worship, prayer, testimonies, and inspiring messages from three area pastors — Pastor Joe Stoop of Wellspring Church in Mays Landing, Pastor Mat Mouliert of Crossroads Fellowship in Pleasantville, and Pastor Matthew Maher of Landmark Church in Ocean City.

“The students were engaged and reflective as they listened to the pastors share their hearts and their passion for developing young people who will seek to honor God with their lives,” said Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen. “Each pastor had a unique message that made an impact and we are so grateful for their participation and for the worship leaders who came to be part of this first-time event.”

Before each pastor spoke, worship teams from each church led the students in a time of singing and praising God. In between sessions, the students had the opportunity to break into prayer groups or pray with a faculty or staff member and many chose to do that.  More than half a dozen students also voluntarily stood up to share their personal testimonies of how following God had helped them overcome challenges in their lives.

“We praise God that during this event four students also gave their hearts to the Lord,” Oblen said. “The spirit of God was truly moving throughout the morning and we look forward to holding this kind of event again next year.”
