"Faith is a beautiful church and school with a nice, fenced-in playground and brand new fellowship hall. Faith has highly skilled and caring staff. If you're looking for a small, Christian school on the West side of Columbus, Indiana, this is the place to be. While at Faith, my child has made lifelong connections with classmates, church members, teachers, and extended care staff. We feel like Faith is our extended family and are blessed to have spent her first educational experiences with this program. We have enjoyed community events including: Pumpkin Patch Field Trip, Firefighter Visit, Thanksgiving Dinner, Valentine's Day Ball, and Trike-a-Thon to name a few. Faith is a special place to be and we are grateful for our experiences here." Chrissy A., Preschool Parent "We couldn't have asked for more highly skilled, caring teachers! Their love of learning brings lessons to life with hands-on activities, field trips, live science demonstrations, and many other actvities and celebrations." Molly W., Preschool Parent "Faith has provided a safe and welcoming environment for my child to learn and grow." D.M., Extended Care Parent "Faith has helped our child grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. She has met new friends. She has been exposed to enriching activities to help her learn more pre-k readiness concepts.
