GETS Staff;
I hope you all have seen the Kinde's update on progress for the coming term. Looks exciting!
In case you haven't recieved my last e-mail (having computer glitches again) here are some questions for everyone to consider:
1) What are some potential names if we change from GETS as our school name?
Consider target students, geography, and ETA affiliation.
I'll be compiling a list of suggetstions.
2) When is the best time for you to meet with teaching staff?
Time, day, and other considerations.
I will compile this list too and let you know the consensus as to when, and then let you know where.
3) Review by me all classes, locations, and times/ days you are open to or already planning to teach this Fall.
Let me know your curriculum needs asap (Kindes, yours are in my office).
Let me know all above asap for advertising purposes (flyers, website for Lance, etc)
Monty is currently doing deputation, so I will be trying to do the above work for him until he has enough support raised to get into the saddle.
Roger will have the school credit card until Monty is set to take over GETS directorship. All GETS and orders school expenses must go through him, there are no reinbursements at this time.
Additions to GETS information should be run by Roger until Monty takes the GETS reins, and submitted to Lance to be installed on the website.
Thanks!
Roger Scarbro

We believe in:
All Scripture being given by inspiration of God.
The Godhead eternally existing in 3 persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit.
Man being created in the image of God.
Jesus Christ becoming the sinners substitute.
The resurrection of the body of Jesus Christ.
Christ being received as Savior by faith alone.
The church being composed of all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior.
All believers being called into a life separation from sinful, worldly practices.
The evangelism of the lost world of all ages.
The personal return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ someday.
The souls of believers at death immediately pass into His presence to dwell with God forever.
The souls of the lost remain after death in misery waiting the final judgment.
