CRISTA Senior Living

Providing an environment filled with genuine care is their passion and mission, CRISTA Senior Living offers a full range of services and activities, along with unique opportunities to volunteer in ministry and interact with the children and youth on an intergenerational campus.
World Concern
World Concern works intimately with communities in some of the most neglected regions of the world. They strive to abolish the core causes of poverty and emphasize livelihood training, literacy and education. They establish beacons of hope in these communities: clean water, food, education and disaster assistance.
World Concern’s expertise lies in strengthening impoverished peoples. When the poor are given opportunities—through education, small business/agricultural training programs and microloans to start small business—their families flourish and the entire community regains hope and stability.
World Concern wants to do more than help with food and shelter. They want to give people the tools and skills to sustain their lives—and do it all with the compassion and love of Jesus Christ.

King’s Schools has build a foundation of Academic Excellence, Christian Commitment, a Caring Community and a Rich Heritage on which each student can stand.
King’s Schools works each school day to prepare students for college and for lives committed to excellence for Christ. Their rigorous academic curriculum, broad range of elective choices, student involvement in community-service projects and extracurricular activities are all designed to achieve that goal.
Each teacher, each day, is inspiring heart and equipping minds to serve God for His glory.
