“I am so thankful for Hope Academy and Spreading Hope. The church where I previously served started a school in 2014 inspired by Hope Academy. I can’t imagine where Faith Academy would be today without their guidance.”

Doug Fern
Founding Head of School (2014-2023) - Faith Academy (Iowa City, IA)

“When people tell me they’re interested in Christian schooling that serves communities in need, the first thing I tell them is to check out Spreading Hope. Their generosity and wisdom were essential catalysts of our work creating Kenosha Christian Academy.”

Greg Forster
Board Member, KCA (Kenosha, WI); Dir. of Oikonomia Network
