“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.”

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.
