Elementary School Chaplain

About Hope Christian School

Our mission is to pray for, equip, and send Christ-centered, passionate leaders to change the world. We are a non-denominational, coeducational Christ-centered school in NE Albuquerque, serving families of children from preschool to high school. Since its founding in 1976, Hope Christian School has prayed for, equipped, and sent nearly 3,000 graduates to change the world. Annually, Hope Christian School educates approximately 1,400 students from Preschool through 12th grade.

It is our privilege, honor, and responsibility to prepare these students to be tomorrow's leaders. We believe that all truth is God's truth. So God is not confined to Bible class, or weekly chapel. Rather all curricula is from a Biblical worldview, taught by faculty who love the Lord, in programs designed to educate the whole student, and with an unwavering commitment to follow God's will for Hope Christian School.
