Heritage Christian School was a transformative experience for me. The dedicated teachers and staff provided a nurturing environment that fostered both my academic and spiritual growth. The strong sense of community and the emphasis on Christian values helped shape me into the person I am today. I am forever grateful for the lifelong friendships and the solid foundation in faith that I gained during my time at HCS.

OUR JOURNEY OF FAITH

Humble Beginnings

Heritage Christian School was born out of the vision and prayers of dedicated parents in the fall of 1984. These founding families sought to create a learning environment characterized by academic excellence, Christian character development, and loving discipline. Under the wise and godly leadership of Pastor Ted Christman, founding pastor of Heritage Baptist Church, we began modestly with just 12 kindergarten students.

Steady Growth

We gradually added one grade per year until reaching eighth grade, carefully building on the strong foundation of academic rigor and character formation. What began as a small seed has blossomed over nearly four decades into a thriving school community serving more than 200 students from pre-school through eighth grade.

Church Ministry

Heritage Christian School operates as a ministry of Heritage Baptist Church, maintaining our commitment to Christ-centered education under the faithful oversight of the church leadership. This connection ensures we remain true to our founding vision and biblical values.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

At Heritage Christian School, we are uncompromisingly Christian in our approach to education. We are not simply a private school with religious elements – we are a Christ-centered learning community where every subject, activity, and interaction is viewed through the lens of God's truth.

Biblical Integration

All truth is God's truth. Math works because God established absolutes that never change. Science explores the world God created. History studies what God has been doing since creation. Literature expresses our creativity as image-bearers of our Creator.

Character Formation

We are more interested in molding the character of our students than simply imparting information. We intentionally cultivate biblical virtues through both formal instruction and countless teachable moments throughout each day.

Excellence for God's Glory

We challenge our students to give their best in everything—not to achieve elitist status, but because God Himself calls us to excellence. This informs our approach to academics, behavior, discipline, and relationships.

SPIRITUAL LIFE

It is our firm conviction that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." This truth forms the foundation for all genuine learning at Heritage Christian School.

Daily Devotions

Every class begins each day with a dedicated devotional time that includes Scripture memory, character trait study, readings from Christian classics like Pilgrim's Progress, a children's catechism, and prayer.

Weekly Chapel

Our Friday morning chapel services (Wednesday for kindergarten & preschool) provide focused spiritual formation through studies of Bible characters, the Ten Commandments, themes from Proverbs, Old Testament survey, the life of Christ, and more—all with practical applications to students' daily lives.

Character Development

Character formation stands at the very heart of our educational mission. We intentionally cultivate biblical virtues through both formal instruction and countless teachable moments throughout each school day.

OUR LEADERSHIP

Heritage Christian School operates under the oversight of Heritage Baptist Church elders and our school administrator, who together serve as our school board.
