North Kern Christian School

Welcome!

As a body of believers, we are called upon to be constantly in prayer (I Thess. 5:17). These weekly notes will list different prayer items that I hope you will remember as you spend time in prayer each day. There are always more prayer items than listed, but we ask that you give special attention to these! Please pray daily for your child, his/her teacher and class.

From the Board Many years ago, in the early to middle 50’s to be more exact, a Mennonite Brethren church was started in Wasco. It began meeting in a farm house carport until in 1958 the main part of the NKCS facility was built. The church met in what is now the chapel. Other buildings were added as the group grew. In the early 70’s the group began to decline to the point that the membership dropped to about 50. The pastor proposed the idea of starting a Christian school in the large facility so in 1977 the group began to consider the idea seriously. The idea was agreed to and in the fall of 1978 NKCS opened it’s doors for the first time. Right Now Media All NKCS families have free access to Right Now Media. Right Now Media is a streaming service that provides Christian material for the whole family. There is no charge to NKCS families for this valuable resource. To sign up, all you need to do is text, “NKCS” to 49775. Raiseright Program!! We have an ongoing fundraiser called Raiseright here at NKCS. This is a great program and so easy to use. The Raiseright program is basically gift cards that you purchase through the program and can use just like money at stores all over. Just a few examples are Albertsons, Home Depot, Carl’s Jr., Wal Mart, and Smart and Final. There are hundreds of cards offered. You can come into the office if you have any questions.
