Why Give? 

We are built on the prayers and gifts of supporters who believe in the importance of educating students with a Biblical worldview.

Whether giving through the Falcon Fund, to a capital need, or including Ben Lippen in your estate plans, your gift has a vital impact on our school and the families we serve.
