“I am so proud of how CWC has stayed true to its Reformed, Gospel-based foundation especially these last few years through unprecedented changes and circumstances. I look forward to maintaining this vision as CWC grows and strives to improve. I love CWC's Christ-centered staff, not just the teachers but also the coaches, food service, bus drivers, aides, office staff, etc... As a parent, we get the opportunity to see the fingerprints of the teachers and staff on our kids. It is such a blessing to have teachers and staff who are reinforcing the same messages and vision we are trying to instill at home. Also, it is such a comfort to know that the staff see my child as a Child of God and not just another number. Our kids spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week at school during the most influential years of their lives, we don't want to spend our evenings undoing what they have 'learned' at school. It is important to us that our kids learn that God is present in EVERY aspect of life. He is not limited to Sundays, church or religion class. Education at CWC is not just facts and figures through a Christian worldview, it is how to problem solve, it is how to cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus and it is how to live in this world differently because Christ died for our sins. Our kids have come home from school praying differently, more conversational and personal; asking if they can accept Christ in their hearts; and reading their devotions and Bible on their own, unprompted from us.”
