Upcoming Gala
Grab your pom-poms, jerseys and checkered overalls and join us for this year's gala, themed around fall Saturdays in the South: the 2018 College GameDay Gala!
Cheer the night away with our favorite referee emcee, David Karnes. Be the next MVP - this fun-filled night of games like quarterback toss and more will make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We are currently asking for auction donations, so if you know someone that would like to donate an item or help sponsor the event, please email development: development@silverdaleba.org.

From the Desk of Roger Woods
Hello Seahawk Nation,
I want to introduce myself to you all. My name is “Chap” Roger Woods and I am the Director of Campus Life here at Silverdale. I love what I do because I get to continually point your children to Jesus.
Building relationships is crucial in today's society with all of the technology that distracts our children from building authentic relationships.I am excited to begin Discipleship groups with your children.
Every Christian should be helping unbelievers become believers by showing them Christ. That is making a disciple. And every Christian should be helping other believers grow to more and more maturity. That is making a disciple.
And every Christian should be seeking to get help for themselves from others to keep on growing. And that is also our discipleship. We are all called to be disciples. Young or old.
I love watching the growth that I see in your children. It is amazing and beyond evident that the Lord is moving here. Continue to pray and if you have time, join us on Tuesdays at 2pm in the SMB( red building across the creek) to pray for our Academy, our faculty and staff, and families. Also, we are initiating a Dad’s Prayer time beginning this Friday from 7:45am-8:00am at the Athletics Complex. It will be every third Friday of the month.
I am here if you or your child needs anything.
