    “I’m looking forward to being part of the decision making process, while expanding CWC and making choices for the school that grow God's kingdom and glorify him. I appreciate that the CWC staff is unified in making it a top priority to prepare students to serve God and his kingdom. God has called us to train our children up in the way that they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it. CWC provides a Christian education in an environment that is edifying, planting the seeds in our children along with watering so God can give the increase. It is a foundation that I desire for my children knowing that God's word never returns void and will be fruitful. That is his promise to his people.”

Randall Greenfield (’90) and his wife Kim live just outside of Waupun with their children Megan ('22)  and Ryer (11th). The Greenfields are active members of First CRC in Waupun.

“As a parent-run organization, CWC depends on the willingness of its members to serve and give when called to do so. Serving with others that are committed to finding the way forward for the school can also be an enriching and rewarding experience. We appreciate the God-centered education principles and the teachers that truly care for our kids. I attended CWC and we relocated to the area partially because we wanted our kids to attend. I believe a Christian education prepares our kids how to be 'in the world, but not of the world', which seems more important than ever.”

“I’m excited about having a role and a voice in the Christian education of today’s children. We appreciate the true dedication of the teachers and leadership to children, providing a solid foundation based on Christ. I believe today’s society has drastically declined on morals and standards, and they have really fallen away from God. It is so important that what we teach at home is backed up in their daily school life so as they come into society they are the light of the world.”

    “Being a CWC graduate and now having kids in the school, I look forward to once again being involved in the guidance and vision of the school as it moves forward and continues to grow. These are exciting times for our school community and I am glad to be a part of it. 

    I appreciate that we can send our kids to school everyday knowing that they will be loved and cared for in a Christ-like manner, and gain the knowledge needed through a Biblical perspective of the world. Christian education has always been an important part of our family. As our kids grow, we continue to see the lasting impression that integrated biblical teaching has on them.  I believe that giving children a solid foundation to grow on will benefit them for an eternity.”

“Strong and healthy institutions are important for building strong and healthy people and communities, which in turn are important for passing on our faith and what we hold dear as followers of Christ. While some may see Board work as not all that exciting, it is very important. I’ve seen lots of ways teachers have rubbed off on our children as they have become more curious, more confident, and more well-rounded, growing in maturity as people and as followers of Jesus. Two words capture the heart of Christian education: covenant and kingdom. Covenant: COVENANT: By grace God embraces us in Jesus Christ. I believe God's called our family to be a part of His family. I have a responsibility to raise my kids in a way that fits their identity and calling. KINGDOM: I believe God's calling is a full-life calling. I don't just send my kids to Sunday School to learn the Bible; I also send them to good quality schools to develop ALL of their God-given potential. I want to see them excited about God's work in all areas of life and able to join in...building the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.”

    “I would like to give back some of my experience to a school that has been such a blessing to my children and grandchildren. I appreciate the fact that Christ is the center of all that is taught here.  It is so important to have staff that loves the Lord and models that to the children. Our purpose in life is to honor God. Now as a parent and grandparent I have been blessed to see the fruits of Christian education in my kids and grandkids.  CWC  supports the home, developing daily how to live a Christ-centered life in this world, while getting a great education. Here they learn how to  give back. Upperclassmen model life to younger kids. 

    The CWC staff are an amazing group, as they work together to ensure Christ is glorified in every classroom. CWC has an evermore important role in today's world to stay true to God's word and be available to those who seek it.  It is an honor to be considered to serve CWC again.“

“I am excited about the opportunity to give back to our school and serve God in any way I am called. I appreciate the mission of CWC, and believe as parents that we are called to lead our children to be followers of Christ in all ways. I appreciate the Christ-centered/Biblical approach to education that CWC offers to our children. I believe that God is needed in our communities and schools now more than ever before. As a parent, I believe that God’s Word is vital to our everyday life. I love knowing that my children are growing and learning from teachers and leaders who share the same belief. Our kids spend so much time in school, and I want to know that they are being taught in a way that gives glory to God in all things. My hope is that this Christ-centered mentality will continue not only for my children’s lives but for generations beyond them.”

“It is an opportunity to continue the work of all board members that have served the school for the last 75 years, and to make and work with friends. I appreciate that it is a Christ centered learning environment that also prepares kids spiritually and socially to be ready to serve. I enjoy the community of students, parents and staff. CWC has touched many lives over the last 75 years. When education is focused through the lens of scripture, students are even more prepared to be effective and loving servants of Christ. It also reinforces what we teach in our home.”

    “I'm looking forward to learning about CWC on a deeper level, and having a meaningful impact on CWC's history. I very much appreciate the Christ-centered learning here. I'm happy that all students from 3K-12th are in the same building, interacting and learning together, and that everyone here feels like family. 

    We chose CWC because everything taught here lines up with the values we're trying to instill in our children at home. We know that when they're at school, they're not only receiving an excellent education, they're also developing moral and spiritual character.”

“This is an opportunity to listen, learn, collaborate, and offer important input for the future of CWC and our children. I am most excited to learn more about the day to day work involved in helping our children to thrive, and to offer support to our administration, teachers, staff, and families as we navigate bumps and celebrate successes together at CWC. I appreciate the transparency of our teachers and staff, and their God first leadership that is woven into the classrooms. I also very much know our children are loved and prayed for often, which is such a blessing. This doesn't stop when students graduate either. The community of CWC is amazing to experience.
Christian education is important to our family because it helps us reinforce the truths that God should be the center of all things - not just at church or at home. We see these truths very much enveloped into our childrens' daily learning and studied in-depth. We appreciate that Christian education helps to develop the hearts and minds of our children. "
