“We are living at perhaps the most opportunistic time in the history of our nation to expand accessibility and affordability for Christian Education! The community, resources, and momentum building through the work of the Spreading Hope Network is intersecting perfectly with two key opportunities: the rapid expansion of school choice along with heightened desires from families to align their children’s education with their faith and values!”
K-12 education is an unparalleled missional opportunity in urban American cities. But how do you start a school? That was the question I had – and Spreading Hope Network gave us the answers. They provided the coaching, encouragement, resources, and many other pieces we needed to plant an excellent Christian school in a low-income context. Kenosha Christian Academy wouldn’t be here without Spreading Hope.
