I see my peers every day, walking through the halls of our school in Joplin, MO. Each one carries a unique story, a unique struggle. I believe that many could find peace and guidance through participation in our school's Bible Club - yet so few are aware of its existence.

Our Bible Club is not just about religious teachings; it's about community, support, and personal growth. It provides students with a safe space to explore their beliefs while fostering respect for others' perspectives. Yet despite these benefits, participation remains low due to lack of knowledge

According to the National Study on Youth and Religion (NSYR), spiritual engagement can contribute positively to young people's identity development and overall well-being (Smith et al., 2005). By promoting awareness of our Bible Club at schools across Joplin, we have the potential to hugely impact lives positively.

We call upon local educators and administrators to help us increase visibility for this valuable resource within our schools. Let us work together to ensure all students are aware of the opportunities provided by the Eagles for Christ Bible Club (ECBC) – opportunities for connection, reflection, and growth.

Please sign this petition if you believe in creating an inclusive, positive, healthy environment where every student has access to resources that can enrich their lives spiritually as well as academically.
