History of Harbor Light Christian School
Harbor Light Christian School (HLCS) exists to glorify the Lord and to train children according to the Bible, God’s Word. Thanks to the vision and prayers of Pastor Bill Mindel, Dave and Bonnie DeRouchie, and Harbor Light Chapel, the school started in 1985. We continue because of the faithful prayers and support of many Christian people throughout the Northern Michigan community and beyond. Currently many school districts and numerous different church fellowships are represented in the student body. The board contains members from several different local church bodies.
Raising children for Christ is a precious privilege and an awesome responsibility. It takes the combined effort of the home, church, and school to teach and live out a Biblical-Christian Worldview. Keeping the balance with this “three-legged stool” of Christian Education (home, church, and school) is a great challenge in today’s culture. As we (parents, students, staff, and school board) join in this venture, we pray that the Lord will grant us the diligence and wisdom to make our homes the foundation for training; that our churches will reinforce the lessons learned; and that HLCS will undergird and strengthen the truth of God’s Word.
The school board, nominated by parents and under the authority of the elders of Harbor Light Chapel, oversees the organization and the operation of the school. The staff, made up of people from several area churches, is prayerfully chosen by the school board to be a living curriculum and godly role model for the students. Monthly board meetings are open to all who wish to attend. The specific dates and times are noted in the school newsletter, THE BEACON.
We would like to welcome you to the family of HLCS. We are more than a place to send children for a good Christian education. As you and your children unite with this school, you are becoming a part of a community, a safe harbor where children are prepared for the stormy seas of life. We look forward to working together with you in training your children in the light of the Word of God and preparing them for LIFE (John 10:10), for now and for eternity.
