Introducing our Planned Giving and Endowment Program

Faith Christian School is excited to launch a Planned Giving and Endowment Program—a powerful way for families, alumni, and friends to invest in the long-term mission and sustainability of our school. A dedicated section of our website offers resources to help you explore how planned gifts and endowment contributions can reflect your values and support future generations of students. The Legacy Society: Investing in Eternal Impact As part of this new initiative, we’re honored to introduce the Legacy Society—a community of supporters who have chosen to include Faith Christian School in their estate plans. Legacy Society members are planting seeds today that will bear Kingdom fruit for years to come. Their intentional generosity ensures that the mission of Faith Christian School continues to flourish, shaping students who love Jesus and are prepared to serve with excellence. Meet Emily Harrison—wife to Scott, mom of two FCS boys, speaker and writer on parenting and technology, and a current PVO Board member. The Harrison’s moved to Roanoke from Charlotte, NC (Emily’s hometown) and quickly became immersed in the life of Faith Christian School. Inspired by their nieces who attended FCS, they chose the school for their sons after witnessing firsthand the school’s academic excellence and Christ-centered culture. One memory captures Faith’s spirit: Her son was struggling with his coursework, but his teacher calmly assured, “He’ll get it.” That quiet confidence reflected belief in every child’s God given potential. He did get it—and that moment became more than academic support; it was lasting spiritual encouragement rooted in faith and individual worth. Legacy in Action: Why the Harrison Family Chose to Give

“We want our estate to reflect what we value. Supporting Faith Christian School even after we’re gone is one of the best ways we can influence the next generation for Christ.” —Emily Harrison, Legacy Society Member

Volunteering, attending athletic events, and building friendships with faculty and other parents has only deepened the Harrison’s commitment. As parents of student-athletes, they’ve seen the power of perseverance, character-building, and grace on and off the field. The decision to leave a legacy gift came from a desire to steward their finances with eternal purpose. “Our giving—both now and in our estate—should reflect our belief in truth, beauty, and goodness. FCS is cultivating those things in the next generation.” Want to Learn More?
