As the Head of School, I am grateful for the privilege of working in a profession where I can express my passion – the education of children. God has called me to service in the area of children’s ministry in education, and it is very fulfilling. It continues to be a thrill to see the children run (or be carried) down the sidewalk each day with enthusiasm for learning and growing in a supportive Christian environment.
My prayer is that you will visit the school, pray for the school and support the school’s outreach and development. I hope you will become part of the wonderful ministry opportunity given to these little ones. The school is a visible and significant presence in our community, helping develop Christian values. My hope is that we will continue to grow in a way that touches children and families with the love of our Lord.
The weekday programs are providing a vital ministry to our community and church families. God is working through our school, providing a Christian influence in so many different ways. He is blessing us for caring for and educating His children to be strong, faithful adults in a difficult world. We covet your prayers and concern for the safety and wellbeing of all the children and staff in our ministry.
Why We Started The Village School
The school grew from the desire of parents to add a religious dimension to their children’s education. United Methodist pastor Rev. Kim Jones from Pueblo, Colorado wrote an article in the United Methodist Review, analyzing the influence of school on children. She was concerned that, not only is religion excluded, but there is a strong “no-God” message for children in public schools. Also, activities such as sports and recreational activities planned for Sunday are undermining children’s participation in church.
“In 100 years, there may not be anyone left who knows the stories of the
Bible and is able to witness to salvation through Jesus Christ,” wrote Jones. She believes creating more United Methodist private schools to teach faith as part of the curriculum could help “change the course of our country, Christianity and The United Methodist Church.”
