Our mission statement is:  Christian Heritage School exists to partner with parents and churches in fulfilling their God-given responsibilities to teach children that “In (Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3, KJV)  and to provide its students with an education of spiritual and academic excellence with which to serve God.  

This mission of Christian Heritage School was established almost 50 years ago when Pastor Paul and Mrs. June Anderson heard a call from God to start a school dedicated to teaching and training young people in an environment where Christ would be at the center of all things. You can see by our mission statement that there was a recognition that this ministry was always called to be in partnership with parents and the local church. It is parents who are given the responsibility to teach and raise their children, therefore, when a family chooses to partner with us, we take that to heart. We see it as an incredible privilege and a significant responsibility to partner with families.  

The third leg of this incredibly powerful stool is our partnership with the local church. At Christian Heritage School, we believe that the local Christian church is the powerful vehicle God has chosen to impact this world for Him. The church is a place where broken lives are healed. It is a place where people are mentored and where they grow in knowledge and understanding of what God says. It is a place of fellowship, and often a place where people find a relationship with the Lord, a relationship that will change both their time on this earth and their eternity. We love the local church! 

There are many ways that we work to honor and support the local church. First, we want to help our local pastors, missionaries, and full-time ministers financially to have their children at CHS where their children are learning and growing in Christ. It is part of our mission to help keep the families of our pastors and missionaries healthy and strong, so they are released to minister in their callings. We love having relationships with our local church pastors and are blessed to invite them to be part of speaking into the lives of our students at chapel, retreats, and through special co-sponsored events.  For example, today we hosted a youth group fair at our chapel to inform our students about the local youth groups in our community.

Recently, we have added support for CHS students to get involved in their local church activities, leadership retreats, youth group conferences, and other ways our local churches are helping our students grow in Christ. We want to see our students involved, active, and engaged in what God is doing through the local church. Therefore, we have set aside some financial support that we are happy to provide for families in need of assistance to pay for those activities that help their children grow through local church activities. 

At CHS, we love our students and our families, and, therefore, we love and support the local church!  You can see an overview of the many ways we support and partner with local churches using this link.
