Christian Education Matters has a tenaciously focused vision to cultivate and enhance a partnership of unity (a single voice for the Christian Church, Christian School and the Christian Home). An enduring immersive experience envisioning a future where Christian schools embrace educational excellence and responsible ownership to reach their full evangelistic potential fulfilling the Great Commission and introducing others to Jesus. Christian Education Matters mission is to equip (with best practices, customized tools, resources, optimism and nurture) serious and motivated Christian school leaders, school boards, principals, teachers, pastors, and parents to become better ministers with measurable results as a vibrant Christian school in their communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1608425530898-YDOO2Q9BBGI0CNMWMDMH/marketing+as+ministry.jpg Home - Marketing As Ministry Marketing a Christian school is not the same as marketing any other kind of business. We fundamentally believe that the ability to introduce Jesus is always the first and greatest ambition. Christian schools are both a ministry and a business. It is our goal that every family have the ability to experience the joy and power of a Christian education. We believe in matching Christian schools, in partnership, with serious and motivated families to receive the outcome displayed by graduates as character-driven, Christ-like, servant leaders who will make a difference in the world as the best way to increase your school’s ministry impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1608425748439-J5ZSR4R7FDCJRRHFZH2H/unity+in+the+community.jpg Home - Unity in the CommUNITY Together, we are better. Every community member (the YOU in unity) has an influential part to play in making ministry better. We find that inclusive collaborative (school leader, pastor, teacher, parent, volunteer and school board) efforts create unlimited potential for non-complacent communities. We maximize impact by building meaningful relationships to advance through a shared vision and quality strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1615560841893-0GLUCKZ0FT405QR1G9GW/A%2Bplan%2Bfor%2Bgrowth.jpg Home - A Plan for Growth Christian Education Matters doesn’t believe in shortcuts but works tirelessly to manage your school’s present as well as create for your school’s future. A sustainable system can outlast any administration or school board transition. Do you realize, that schools basically do the exact same thing each and every year according to a fairly predictable calendar? Purposeful pre-planning creates the momentum and makes the process for execution simple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1608426445674-3OGF0AURHM7P2TE9EJOS/action+is+key.jpeg Home - ACTION is Key!

We take ownership, act with urgency and aren’t afraid to do the hard work and give 100 percent every day. We celebrate small successes and look to improve constantly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1612123042470-SVARCTZOU13CSIQZ47IE/data+driven+decisions.jpeg Home - Data Driven Decisions Quantitative measurement of satisfaction provides a powerful indicator of organizational health. We use research and evidence to develop strategies tailored to the DNA of your school to ensure exceptional results. We enthusiastically and continually question what we know and how we do things to generate knowledge of what works best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1612123115643-3ZLAJQS3ITC3YXPJ590Q/people+and+money.jpeg Home - People and Money No non-profit organization survives without people and money. We know that servant leaders and volunteers are our biggest ministerial asset. We mobilize and intentionally nurture a community of people to make a difference in your school’s ministry. When you have developed the people; funding becomes easier. We help you choose wisely and set reasonable expectations for success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1612123202348-1FN1OLY7J0AC7DOONMZV/achieve+greater+financial+stability.jpeg Home - Achieve greater financial stability Let’s talk about numbers as the impact of poor financial planning continues to impact generations of school health and economic stewardship. Many Christian schools are stretched thin operating with a deficit budget and charge tuition well below their cost of doing business. Can this kind of mindset impact growth and quality? Some school boards begin to worry if they will be able to sustain their school and begin to ponder the economics of ‘closing the school’. It is humanly easier to decide to avoid or neglect problems and close a Christian school than it is to dedicate the time and energy to keep the school open. Is this a healthy practice of ministerial stewardship? Remember, your Christian school is 5-days a week evangelism! We take money seriously and teach you how to adopt a ministerial philosophy of money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1612123292342-903N8AS6STVN0A9KDBR3/prayer+and+enthusiasm.jpeg Home - Fervent Prayer and Enthusiasm keeps us going We encourage, appreciate, celebrate, and pray with each other with exuberance and a sense of humor. We embrace joy, persistence, focus and enthusiasm in our daily work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1615562552406-YJ724S7ICW5YL261YW6K/Thank%2Byou%2BAutoresponder%2Bafter%2Bemail.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1612123626537-PUIL9LPTYBAQHVYIKHXZ/unnamed.jpg Home https://www.christianeducationmatters.com/meet-teresa-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1603678591693-87UREG5WMPXSP3LIIZNU/unnamed-2.jpg Meet Teresa Teresa Kelchner Christian Education Advocate, Champion and Coach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1616531124588-1FJXSEGOGC1GQCYP0SP5/1.png Meet Teresa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7b3dac9b3c67345b773468/1616531167937-GODPW4ZGDNR4QGZO30OL/2.png Meet Teresa
