TRCharacter vectors

Weekly 30-minute lunch & devotion sessions for grades 8-12 | BYO Lunch

Free for all enrolled TRC students

A vector possesses both direction and magnitude — it tells you not only how far something moves, but where it's headed. I chose this name because, as parents and educators, our highest responsibility isn't just teaching our students how to build things. It's helping them align the things they build, and the lives they live, with a calling higher than themselves.

TRCharacter Vectors sessions are the dedicated home for TRC's faith-integrated character curriculum at the Pathfinder level. The name comes from a core concept in physics and engineering: a vector has both direction and magnitude. At TRC, we believe God provides the direction — purpose, ethics, and calling — while our students bring the magnitude — effort, skill, and perseverance. Lunch is where those two ideas meet, where students explore how STEM concepts connect to Scripture and to lifelong character development.

Here are a few of the vectors students explore at TRCharacter:

• Precision & Integrity: Tolerances and significant figures teach attention to detail and honesty in documentation (Colossians 3:23, Proverbs 12:22)
• Iteration & Growth: The design process mirrors spiritual growth—we improve through cycles of testing, failure, and refinement (Philippians 1:6, James 1:2-4)
• Teamwork & Humility: Complex systems require collaboration; no one succeeds alone (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Proverbs 27:17)
• Stewardship & Efficiency: Engineering optimization reflects responsible use of the resources God provides (Matthew 25:14-30)
• Perseverance & Completion: Finishing well matters—in projects and in life (2 Timothy 4:7, Philippians 3:12-14)
