Support Faith Christian School

What is Project Faith?

Project Faith is an extraordinary undertaking with the purpose of serving our community for the past 21 years. For one day, the entire school—students (JK – 12), faculty, staff and over 200 parent volunteers—works at area organizations lending time and energy to accomplish a multitude of tasks.

Our Purpose

We desire that our students understand the importance of honoring God by serving others.  Project Faith provides students the opportunity to invest in their community by working for the good of others. In addition, students serve their school by asking for financial support.

How can you, your friends, family, and business associates support Project Faith?

Your support is critical in helping Faith Christian School succeed. In early February, students mail out letters asking to be sponsored for Project Faith. Typically, over 4,000 letters are sent out every spring and donations come in from all over the world. Each student is requested to send out a minimum number of letters and many students and families go above and beyond.
