Cedars Habits
Education encompass all of life, and we strive to shape our students in every aspect of their lives and characters. Children come into the world as sinners, needing Jesus Christ to forgive, change, and empower them to live for His glory. We encourage this growth by pointing them to Jesus, and by God’s grace, they bear good fruit.
I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
John 15:5

He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much ~ Luke 16:10
