Hillcrest Christian School Values and History

Celebrating 44 Years of Excellence In Christian Education

Hillcrest Christian School began in the hearts and minds of members and friends of a non-denominational Christian fellowship. HCS, under the auspices of Hillcrest Christian Center, began in 1977. A few years later, the leadership determined to move the school to the location at 384 Erbes Road. Many volunteers labored to convert the campus from its prior use as a community hospital to the school for all

Hillcrest Christian School was established by the church, Hillcrest Christian Center, in the fall of 1977. It was originally governed by the church’s board of elders. After approximately five years, the school was established as a charter member of Association of Christian Schools International. During the 1994-1995 school year, the school became an independent entity separate from the church but jointly shared the campus until Hillcrest Christian Center disbanded as a church effective January 30, 1995. At that time the school became the sole entity, Hillcrest Christian Center, and held title to all property.
