Project Faith at Faith Christian School

We are excited to announce that we will serve Crisis Response International. Crisis Response International (CRI) was founded in 2007 to bring hope, relief, and the love of God to those impacted by natural disasters and crises. CRI’s base camp is located in Blue Ridge, VA. At their base camp, CRI trains and mobilizes heroic, compassion-driven volunteers to swiftly respond to crises and disasters, both locally and worldwide. The responders are deployed on national and global relief operations to meet the urgent physical needs and to address the spiritual and complex emotional needs of those affected by disasters. Following deployment, CRI provides returning volunteers counseling and activities at the base camp to decompress and attend to their spiritual and physical needs. Click here for more information. >>

What is Project Faith? Open or Close

Project Faith is an extraordinary undertaking to serve our community for the past 24 years. For one day, the entire school works at area organizations, lending time and energy to accomplish a multitude of tasks. Last year, nearly 500 students, parents, faculty, and alumni served Camp Bethel by painting, cleaning, landscaping, repairing, and organizing. These are projects the organization simply would not be able to complete due to budget and personnel constraints.
Our Purpose Open or Close

We desire that our students understand the importance of honoring God by serving others. Project Faith provides students the opportunity to invest in their community by working for the good of others. In addition, students serve their school by asking for financial support.

In the weeks before Project Faith Day, they perform skits, decorate halls, and visit classrooms to raise excitement for Project Faith. The Student Managers have chosen a fun "Medieval" theme for their efforts this year.
