Many Christian families are experiencing the adverse influences of cultural drifts and social pressures in their children’s education institutions. Attending a Christian school or Christian homeschooling is a worthwhile investment in your child’s eternal future. At Highlands, we firmly believe that providing a Christ-centered Biblical worldview where our children are challenged academically and nurtured spiritually will help them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a heart for Christian service, leadership and evangelism. God calls us to equip and intellectually prepare our children to live their lives with a sound Biblical perspective.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it”.
Proverbs 22:6
We are pleased to provide financial assistance for member families of Highlands Bible Church who are investing in a Christ-centered education model for their children, and are bearing the additional financial burden accompanied with their ministerial decision. The Christian Education Assistance Fund (CEAF) provides assistance for these families in two ways:
