Our Mission
Our Trifecta
The ECS enculturation trifecta for unfavorable conditions:
- Masculine Nerve – we have men with chests (like C.S. Lewis wrote about)
- Tactical Laughter – we fear the Lord so we don’t fear the future
- Radical Company – we get to the roots of fellowship and fruitfulness

Risus est bellum.
“Laughter is war.”
Our school motto stems from a two-page spread for New Saint Andrews College in an old Credenda/Agenda.
