Activities
In the years since opening the school, Christian Fellowship has added numerous extracurricular activities for the students. In the fall, boys soccer and girl’s volleyball is offered. Students as young as sixth grade are encouraged to become involved. In the winter months, boy's and girl's basketball along with both varsity and junior varsity cheerleading are offered. The spring months include girl’s soccer, a coed golf and a coed track team. All of Christian Fellowship School’s sport's teams compete against other Christian high school teams throughout the state of Missouri. At the end of each season, the teams go to Joplin, Missouri to compete in the state wide competition of Christian schools. Other activities that Christian Fellowship School offers its students include the yearbook team and drama team. Each year the drama team performs a play for the school and community. Also at the end of each year, students compete in the ACSI state-wide competition. Numerous academic areas are included in this competition including art, science projects, musical pieces and performances, written work, and mathematical competitions.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
