Faith Christian School continues to disciple almost 200 young men and women each year as part of its mission to create faithful followers of Jesus Christ. YOU have the opportunity to join us in this mission and to make a significant difference in the lives of children and all they will come in contact with in the future. 

One way you can do this is by partnering with us in our fundraising program called Faith 365. Faith Christian School relies on the Lord to provide for this ministry 365 days a year, and our donors play a crucial role in financially supporting this Kingdom work.   

As part of this program, we would ask you to consider choosing a day, such as a birthday, anniversary, or other date of significance, and commit to "sponsoring" that day for at least $1000. Some, whom God has blessed with additional resources, may wish to pick more than one day, with the goal of raising a total of $365,000 each year for the school budget. This idea of shared sacrifice would create a foundation of financial support to keep the mission of Faith Christian School moving forward for generations to come.   

As you prayerfully consider your response, please click on the button below and click on the "Donate" button. It will direct you to the "Make A Gift Online" form. Under the Gift Details section, select "Faith 365" as your type of donation and let us know which special date you would like to sponsor.

Faith Christian School is a member of Arizona Christian Education Coalition (AzCEC), along with ten Christian schools in the Valley and ACSTO. AzCEC is a coalition of Christian Schools in the state of Arizona who have come together to hire an advocate at the legislature to keep us informed of actions that might affect our schools and bills we may need to interact with. A monthly newsletter and other urgent updates will be shared.

If there is a call for action to contact our legislators or governmental leaders, please respond and help us keep Christian Education and parental freedom going in AZ.

This newsletter below answers some important questions about what effect the new Governor can have on the Universal ESA program. Please read this Newsletter of AzCEC for some helpful information about our Governor's response to Universal ESA.

If you've heard about Universal ESA and wondered whether that should impact your donation to tuition tax credit organizations, we encourage you to read this note from ACSTO:
 
The passing of the Universal ESA law does not spell the fall of STOs—far from it, in fact! Parents must choose which tuition funding source they want to use—ESA or Tax Credit Scholarships—and ESA funding will not meet the tuition cost of every student. Many parents will still rely heavily on ACSTO to provide scholarships to send their children to a Christian School. Those who rely on ACSTO will count on dollar-for-dollar tax credit donations from taxpayers like you to make these scholarships possible.

Whether tuition exceeds the approximate ESA funding by a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, many families will not be able to afford to send their children to a Christian School using the ESA Program. This means that schools, parents, and students still need your help! Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation to ACSTO matters more than ever to families who desire a Christian Education for their children!

On behalf of more than 44,000 Arizona students who have attended Christian Schools using ACSTO scholarships since 1998, thank you for your past and on-going support. Your contributions change the lives of children and their families!
