CWC Board
Central Wisconsin Christian is governed by a 12-member Board that is elected to three-year terms by the supporting constituency at the annual meeting in April. Our Board members are parents and supporters of our mission of Christ-centered education. The Board holds its meetings on the third Monday of each month. Standing committees of the Board are the Executive, Education, Finance, Advancement, Transportation, and Athletic Committees, many of which include representatives of parents, staff, and Board working together to continually help CWC be a great school.

“I would enjoy answering the call to help CWC in whatever path the Lord leads. I appreciate how the CWC community serves individually with the gifts God has blessed them with for the greater good of the school. We have amazing teaching and support staff, volunteers at Bargain's Galore Thrift Store, prayer warriors and generous donors. There are so many people giving towards the same goal of raising the next generation to love and serve the Lord. As a graduate I have taken many of the things I learned attending CWC into my daily life. As a parent I've seen the impact that having a Christ centered education can have on raising future kingdom servants. The close knit community my family has found at CWC has been instrumental throughout my entire life. ”

She also is active in the community as a GEMS counselor and a Greenhouse volunteer at Edgewood. “As a parent at CWC, I value the relationships that are formed between our students, staff and families. Seeing God being sought after and honored in the classrooms, locker rooms, meeting rooms, and gatherings outside of the school walls is amazing. ‘Where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them’ (Matthew 18:20). Christian education is important to our family as we messily try to raise our kids to know, love and follow God. We all need the help of our fellow Christians to raise up this generation to serve Him faithfully-’we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done’ (Psalm 78:4)” I look forward to serving on the board and upholding the mission "To help kids glorify God and serve in His world".

As I’ve gone from CWC graduate, to elementary parent, to now having one of my kids graduate this spring, I’ve come to appreciate what a blessing CWC has been at each of those stages.
The committed teachers and staff care a great deal for their students and being partners with us, as parents, in raising the next generation of kingdom servants.”

“My opportunity to serve on the board will be wonderful learning the successes, challenges, and opportunities to grow as a school. Especially with the Head of School transition, I think this time of our journey will really be key for the CWC board and leadership to unite. I love the mission of CWC. I love that my kids are fired up about singing a praise song or memorizing a scripture when they get home. The need for Christian education has never been greater. It's important to me because I trust our leaders and teachers to shepherd my kids in becoming Christ-centered young adults.”

I am honored for the opportunity to serve on the CWC School Board because I am committed to the mission of teaching children to glorify God and serve His world. As a parent, I have seen firsthand the impact of an environment where kids experience God through every avenue; from classroom to athletics. CWC truly acts as an extension of the Christian family, reinforcing the morals, values and beliefs that are the foundation of our faith. It’s inspiring to witness how school cultivates Christ-like character and academic excellence through partnerships between home, the church and the community. I look forward to an opportunity to contribute to a leadership team that ensures our students continue to grow in wisdom, discernment and lifelong passion for Christ.

“I am so proud of how CWC has stayed true to its Reformed, Gospel-based foundation especially these last few years through unprecedented changes and circumstances. I look forward to maintaining this vision as CWC grows and strives to improve. I love CWC's Christ-centered staff, not just the teachers but also the coaches, food service, bus drivers, aides, office staff, etc... As a parent, we get the opportunity to see the fingerprints of the teachers and staff on our kids. It is such a blessing to have teachers and staff who are reinforcing the same messages and vision we are trying to instill at home. Also, it is such a comfort to know that the staff see my child as a Child of God and not just another number. Our kids spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week at school during the most influential years of their lives, we don't want to spend our evenings undoing what they have 'learned' at school. It is important to us that our kids learn that God is present in EVERY aspect of life. He is not limited to Sundays, church or religion class. Education at CWC is not just facts and figures through a Christian worldview, it is how to problem solve, it is how to cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus and it is how to live in this world differently because Christ died for our sins. Our kids have come home from school praying differently, more conversational and personal; asking if they can accept Christ in their hearts; and reading their devotions and Bible on their own, unprompted from us.”
