A CCS Legacy…

Jeff Delmar

🔹Years attended: 1986-2000 (K-12th)

🔹Current occupation: VP of Operations in the IT industry

🔹Favorite CCS memory: PE with Coach Post and Coach Reggie...field hockey, kickball, and TETHERBALL!; Field Day competitions...shuttle runs, sack races, long jumps and hurdles; Countless hours of fun (and pain) on the basketball court; Fall Festivals...building the outdoor booths, hay rides in the dark, and soaking teachers in the dunking booth (or maybe was that during field day, IDK).

🔹Favorite CCS teacher(s): Well, I remember some "impact" in the principal's office, hah! For real though, I think I was impacted most by the coaching, teaching, and mentoring of Coach Post, Mr. Schwandt, Mr. Holland, and Mr. Melvin.

🔹How does your Christian faith impact your life?

From a combat tour in Iraq, several miscarriages with my wife, raising four children (1 adopted and 1 with special needs), being displaced from our home due to Hurricane Michael, suddenly losing my Dad to a stroke, and helping our sweet boy with Down Syndrome battle Leukemia...the faith God has graciously enabled my wife and I to keep has carried us every step of the way, molded us more into the image of our Saviour, and preserved our trust in our loving Heavenly Father.

"We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:7-10,16‭-‬18

🔹What advice would you give to our current CCS students?

Stay humble; not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.

"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

A CCS Alumni Legacy…

Kirsten Messer

🔹Years attended: 2016-2018 (Junior and Senior year)

🔹Current occupation: Fireman in the United States Coast Guard

🔹Favorite CCS memory: Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve played sports my entire life, so when Mr. Sabo came to Covenant and decided to start back up the volleyball team, I was ecstatic! I played volleyball my entire life, so I was happy to play during my final year of high school. It not only gave me the opportunity to get to know my classmates as a team, but being a team of girls that had never played volleyball before, it allowed me to coach and mentor the younger classmen. This actually led to coaching them several seasons after graduation!

🔹Favorite CCS teacher(s): Though he didn’t teach for long, in my junior year, one of my favorite teachers was Mr. Camperman. He gave my classmates and I the opportunity to dive into our marine biology studies by helping our local ecosystem. We created a system for catching an invasive species, which threw me into the world of biological and natural sciences. Not only did we go on several unforgettable adventures like camping, diving, and traveling to present our design to several government officials in Tallahassee, but as a group, we published an article about our research in Guy Harvey Magazine. I don’t know if Mr. Camperman knows how much I appreciated his antics, but being sixteen and having those accomplishments under my belt gave me so much confidence about my own abilities and how with true dedication and hard work, I could do big things.

🔹How does your Christian faith impact your life?
As a young person, faith can either be really easy or really hard. Some people are blessed with unwavering childlike faith, but unfortunately, I wasn’t always one of those people. In 2020, my little sister was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. At the time, she was only eleven years old. Understandably, my faith was a little shaken, but my little sister? She was my rock. She never once had doubts. Every chemo day started out with smiles, prayer, and Chick-fil-a, and no matter how badly the chemotherapy hit her, she would always crack jokes. With her incredibly stubborn attitude, bravery, and a community of prayers, she beat cancer. Faith is something that used to come to me in waves, but now occurs as a strong and steady stream. I owe that to my miracle of a sister and an incredibly awesome God that can do anything.

🔹What advice would you give to our current CCS students?
You do not need to figure out your life before you graduate high school. I’m 23 years old raising my first kid, active duty military, and I still haven’t figured out what kind of career I want. Since high school, I’ve tried photography, childcare, small business entrepreneurship, religious activities, and even took some time to be a housewife while living in Germany! Now I’m a fireman in the Coast Guard which matches none of my previous interests. My advice would be to just try new things and live life! You can’t perfectly plan out your whole life no matter how hard you try. There is no right or wrong answer, only left or right. Living life according to God’s word doesn’t mean you’ll always have the answers, so trust Him and do your best every day!

A CCS Alumni Legacy: Timothy Adams

🔹Years attended: K-12. 1985-1997

🔹Current occupation: Engineering Manager, US Navy Air Cushion Vehicle Program

🔹Favorite CCS memory: 8th grade study halls with Sam Weigle

🔹Favorite CCS teacher: Sue Crawford, 3rd Grade. Amazing teacher, challenged us with math and science work above our grade level.

🔹How does your Christian faith impact your life?
It would be easier to answer how it hasn't. It's central to my world and life view of things, how I interact with others and how I lead my family and train my children.

🔹What advice would you give to our current CCS students?
Appreciate the small class size, close relationships with your classmates and teachers, and family atmosphere. When you move on to bigger public education organizations you are little more than a number and that can be challenging.

“For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,
and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life”
Proverbs 6:23

Alex Cowden Ray

🔹Years attended: 1996-2010 (K-4 through 12th Grade)

🔹Current occupation: Digital Sales Coordinator for Sinclair Broadcast Group

🔹Favorite CCS memory: Shark fishing in Mr. Melvin’s 6th grade class, boys vs girls and the winner got a large bucket of bubble gum. Happy to say the girls won that year!!!

🔹Favorite CCS teacher(s): Probably a tie between Ms. Walker and Mr. Hagans. Ms. Walker was my kindergarten teacher and she pushed me to be a leader at such a young age, which has become embedded within my being. And Mr. Hagans because who else lets you choose your own curriculum and teaches you about the history of food, board games, film and so much more?! Things I still remember to this day! Plus he was a great Class Rep!

🔹How does your Christian faith impact your life?
After growing up in the church and attending CCS, faith continued to impact my life when I attended Auburn University in 2010. I made lifelong friends through a small off-campus Bible study, and eventually met my husband Chris at that same Bible study. Now we’re raising our son Teddy in the church and he is learning Jesus’ story at a Christian daycare!

🔹What advice would you give to our current CCS students?
The verse I shared in my senior bio would be my advice for any student: “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Col 3:17
