Today’s education system in many urban communities feels broken-marked by moral decline, ideological confusion, frustrated families, and discouraged educators. But in the middle of the chaos, we see a divine opportunity: to offer children a different path through gospel-centered, life-giving education.
Where Others See Crisis, We See Calling
While others focus on important policy reform and legal advocacy, we focus on what only the Church can do: raise up “Edu-preneurs” to launch and lead remarkable Christian schools that serve the poor and restore hope.
“Our cities will be won by those who bring their youth the greatest hope. Starting a new Christian school in the city is hard work-yet essential and rewarding. Join us in welcoming a wave of educational refugees into remarkable, God-centered education in a city near you.”
– Russ Gregg, SHN President

“But when you give a banquet, invite the poor … and you will be blessed.”
Luke 14:13 (NIV)
Every gift to Spreading Hope Network helps create more seats at the banquet of gospel-centered education. Together, we are inviting children and families into a transformational experience.
As of the Fall of 2025, we’ve helped start 21 schools, serving 2200+ students.
By the Fall of 2027, we’d like to reach 30 schools, serving 3000+ students.
To accomplish this, we will focus on two distinct aims: first, recruit and equip two Founder cohorts to launch 9 new schools in this movement; second, strengthen our existing network of school leaders to grow their schools by 800 new students.
To fuel this growth, we’re seeking $800,000 in commitments over the next two years.
So far, 15 generous partners have already pledged $300K over the next 2 years, and we’re trusting God for 35 more partners to complete the goal ($500K in commitments remaining). We believe this goal can happen via the following array of new generosity over the next two years:
- 2 new partners giving $50,000 per year
- 3 new partners giving $25,000 per year
- 5 new partners giving $10,000 per year
- 8 new partners giving $5,000 per year
- 17 new partners giving $500-$4500 per year
We are more expectant than ever for what’s ahead. Your partnership can help bring remarkable education—and the hope of the gospel—to children who need it most.
