Although it is obvious that not all students have a saving faith in Jesus, every student is given ample opportunity to know and grow in the grace of Christ.

Educational options abound. Rather than sell you on what I think is best, I want to educate you on the options for educating your child: public, private and homeschool. Rather than sharing my opinion, I want to put some resources in front of you that have been helpful to me.

With the abundance of voices speaking on the topic of parenting, you would think that today’s children would be flourishing.
