Upper Valley Christian School
About the School
- Upper Valley Christian School came into existence in 1979 as a ministry of the Leavenworth Church of the Nazarene because Pastor Jim West had a vision to begin a Christian School in the Upper Valley.
- It began with just 20 students, and has grown to minister to 135 or so children and their families a year.
- In those years, we have had the opportunity to minister to around 600 students.
- Some of them have subsequently graduated from college, gone to the mission field, medical school, the military or other fields of endeavor.
- We have even had our first second-generation student enroll in 1994-95.
- God has truly blessed UVCS in those years.
- He has been faithful in every way through difficult financial times, trials, and growth.
- His faithfulness to us demonstrates our need to be faithful to Him in everything that we do.
- This is His school above all else.
- He established it.
- He sustains it.
- Without Him, we would be lost.
- It is our responsibility to be faithful to Him who called us.
