The mission of Moline Christian School is to provide a quality, Christ-centered education, equipping students for a life of service to their Lord.
Our preschool is focused on early childhood education. Each student at Moline Christian School from kindergarten through eighth grade is a member of a small group.
The students enjoy the opportunity to get acquainted with schoolmates in other grades and age levels.
The older students serve as leaders of the small groups.
It is wonderful to watch the growing confidence of the youngest students as they participate with their team.
