We're eager to welcome you into the movement.
K-12 education is an unparalleled missional opportunity in urban American cities. But how do you start a school? That was the question I had – and Spreading Hope Network gave us the answers. They provided the coaching, encouragement, resources, and many other pieces we needed to plant an excellent Christian school in a low-income context. Kenosha Christian Academy wouldn’t be here without Spreading Hope.
Spreading Hope’s assistance with fundraising, communication planning & infrastructure, access to Hope’s documents and model, as well as their prayer and encouragement – all of it helped Ignite Classical start well.
