What is an Ambassador?
II Corinthians 5:20
“We are therefore Christ’s Ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf; be reconciled to God.”
This verse was the foundation on which Pastors John Dunlap and Gene Garrick launched Norfolk Christian Schools in 1952. Its students were proudly called Ambassadors, meaning “one who represents” or “messenger.”
True to our heritage and to our calling in II Corinthians, we shape students who strive for excellence in everything they do, who care well for each other, and who are prepared, committed, and eager to represent Christ to the world.
