True Light Christian School seeks to provide a Christ-centered education that nurtures mind, body, and spirit to pave the way to a brighter future. To ensure our teachers are fairly compensated, the "Legacy of Light" Capital Campaign was launched with a goal of raising $1.5 million. Our mission is rooted in building this legacy to inspire future generations to follow in the steps of Jesus Christ.

Help Us Reach Our Goal

  • “True Light equipped us to step into the world, both personally and academically. In our adult life we still often call back to the Scriptures and wisdom instilled in us through our teachers there. The Truth we learned and relationships we built at True Light were foundational for us and continue to impact our lives and walk with Christ.”

    JOSH & JOHANNA GROSS, TLCS Alumni

  • "What does True Light Christian School provide students and staff? More than you can imagine! I watched students grow academically, but even more powerful was seeing them discover who they are in God’s eyes. At True Light, learning happens through a Biblical lens—students talk about their faith, ask deep questions in a safe space, and see God in every lesson, event, and challenge. For staff, it’s the chance to invest in the whole child—academically, physically, and spiritually. Prayer is part of daily life: students pray for each other, staff pray over students, and challenges are met with prayer first. That kind of environment transforms everyone—students and staff alike. True Light has given me far more than I could ever give it."

  • “True Light Christian School has been an incredible blessing to our family.  Our daughter has been enrolled since kindergarten, and we’ve watched her not just grow but truly thrive in this environment.  The class size means that each child gets hand-on attention from devoted teachers who instruct and disciple in the classroom.  The academic standards at True Light keep our daughter challenged and fosters a sense of accomplishment as she find success.  We love that she is surrounded with other students, teachers, staff and volunteers who share our worldview centered on faith.  True Light encourages parent involvement in the day to day, which cultivates an atmosphere of family among the student (and parent) body.  True Light has become an extension of our faith fellowship, and we couldn’t be more grateful. “ MEL BRUNS, TLCS Parent

  • "True Light was foundational in my life, instilling Biblical principles and cultivating in me the character of God. I would not be who I am today without the teachers who faithfully invested their time, not only teaching me but guiding and shaping me into the person I’ve become. They did more than educate me, they shepherded me, and their influence has had a lasting, pivotal impact on my life."
