    The Oder Flight Academy became a reality because of a generous contribution to Faith Lutheran by J.D. and Melissa Oder and Katherine Oder, who wanted to honor the legacy of Katherine’s late husband, J.D.’s father, David Oder. In 1994, David founded Shift4, which grew to became the world’s largest independent payment gateway. He was considered a visionary and pioneer in the payments industry, and both his wife and children were highly involved in the success of Shift4 and have carried forth his entrepreneurial and forward-looking spirit.
    That spirit for being on the leading edge inspired the Oders to capture the vision of what Faith could offer its students – an aviation program that provides both flight and aircraft maintenance training to prepare aspiring pilots and flight mechanics for a career in the airplane industry. Both J.D. and his parents have a love of aviation, and together wanted to use his knowledge and their combined resources to help bring this timely and important program into existence.


    In a non pandemic year, 42.2 million people visit Las Vegas each year – that’s roughly 807,000 people per week or 3.5 million each month. McCarran Airport is the 2nd busiest in the United States for origin and destination travel. People from all over the globe come because Las Vegas is a world leader in hospitality and tourism. Las Vegas understands food and beverage, Las Vegas understands entertainment, Las Vegas understands hotels, and Las Vegas understands conventions. Last year, visitors to Las Vegas spent 34.8 billion dollars. They aren’t just coming for gaming. More and more are coming to Las Vegas for non gaming attractions such as shopping, attractions, restaurants, concerts and shows, fights, hockey games, hiking, cycling, and museums.

  • Mark 10:14

    MARK 10:14 PROGRAM
    Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.  Mark 10:14
     
    Mission:
    To provide an excellent education for middle and high school students with intellectual and developmental disabilities in an inclusive Christian setting.
     
    Our Program:
    • Provides extensive opportunities for students who have special needs to participate in general education classes and campus activities.
    • Ensures a high level of exposure to the general education curriculum.
    • Provides intensive, individualized instruction using research-based methodologies to maximize students' academic progress.
    • Encourages and fosters relationships between non-disabled students and students with disabilities.
    • Instructs and models Christian principles.
    • Welcomes students of all faiths.

    Our Students:
    Mark 10:14 students participate in a full schedule of general education classes alongside their typical peers, giving them daily opportunities to learn and practice age appropriate skills and social behaviors. They receive a high level of support to ensure their success in this inclusive setting. Students access the general education curriculum to the best of their abilities, often using materials that have been created specifically for them. They participate in classroom discussions, labs, skits, and group activities with other students. When portions of the lesson are 'beyond their reach', students come to the Mark 10:14 room for one-on-one instruction in reading, writing and math skills. 

    Mark 10:14 Program students are active participants in all aspects of life at Faith Lutheran Middle School & High School. They have participated in football, basketball, wrestling and track teams as well as choir and band.  Mark 10:14 students have been involved in computer club and art club, and have participated in LipSync, Crusader Competitions, Talent Shows and Middle School Service Projects. Two of our students have had roles in Middle School drama productions. See our student photo album to glimpse the joy Mark 10:14 students bring to their participation in all these activities!

Our mentors have exceeded our expectations in every way. They provide capable and insightful assistance, and serve as ambassadors, allies and role models for the Mark 10:14 students. While performing an invaluable service, the mentors themselves grow and learn from the experience. 
     
    The Mentor Program is a full year elective open to students in grades 9-12. A 'pass' or 'fail' grade is received for this class. Applications are accepted each Spring for the following school year. 

    "Being a mentor has given me so much more respect for people who go through obstacles in life. Watching the Mark 10:14 kids live & love their lives has made me so appreciative of life...(It) has given me the skills to help people who have intellectual disabilities...I have also learned patience from being a mentor."
    Jenna - Mark 10:14 Mentor

    ENDOWMENT | SECURING THE FUTURE

    Each year we rely on your generous support, along with the gifts of many others, to help us carry out our work. Endowment funds not only make a lasting impact at Faith Lutheran, they also offer the opportunity to honor your family name or pay tribute to a loved one. You can establish an endowment with a contribution of cash, securities, real estate or a planned gift. Through various endowments, donors honor family members, faculty, and the School, while ensuring Faith Lutheran’s financial security for the future. Endowed funds may be created for scholarships, financial aid, academic chairs, capital improvements, or other educational purposes at Faith Lutheran. We gratefully acknowledge our endowment donors.

    How It Works
    When you make an endowed gift, your contribution is invested with and becomes part of our endowment. An annual distribution is made for the purpose you designate. Because the principal remains intact the fund will generate support in perpetuity.
     
    Did you know?
    You can set up an honorary endowment in your will so that your name, or the name of someone special, can live on forever. Endowments provide a consistent flow of support to students and allow the school to plan into the future. Gifts of any size may be added later to enlarge the endowment over time.
