independent nonprofit — gifts are tax-deductible
Like every independent school, what a family pays in tuition doesn't cover the full cost of an EBCA education — especially in a founding year, when class sizes are small and the cost of building strong curriculum, hiring great teachers, and outfitting a hybrid classroom doesn't scale down with enrollment.
Your gift closes that gap — and it does something else an established school's fund can't claim: it funds the very first chapters of EBCA's story, at the moment when a gift has the most room to matter.
We also use annual giving to fund income-based tuition support, so a family's ability to pay is never the reason a child isn't formed here — no family is turned away for financial reasons.
Keeps a family's finances from deciding whether their child can attend.
Builds out the hybrid learning model grade by grade as EBCA grows.
Supports competitive pay so EBCA can recruit and keep excellent faculty.
Covers facility needs as enrollment — and space requirements — grow each year.
EBCA was founded by Emerge Church and shares its Christ-centered mission, but operates as its own independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit — with its own board, governance, and finances, separate from the church.
Because a gift now goes further than it ever will again. In a founding-stage school, your support isn't diluted across a large existing fund — it's a visible, direct part of building the foundation.
Yes. EBCA is a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 99-4085467), and gifts are deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Gifts go toward income-based tuition support, curriculum and classroom materials, teacher compensation, and facility needs; the highest priorities as determined each year.
Yes. Recurring monthly gifts are especially valuable for a young school, since they give us a predictable base to plan around as we grow.

Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
