OUR MISSION
The mission of Beacon Christian School is to equip students to impact communities by serving Christ
Our mission is at work every day within the walls of our school. It also extends outside the walls of our school! One way our students and staff impact our community is through prayer. Every class chooses a member of our local community to pray for throughout the school year. Many members of our local community have been blessed and very touched by this. Check back again to see who your child's class is praying for!

The Grades 1 + 2 class have "adopted" Mr. Dan Bouwman as their community leader to pray for and support this year.
Mr. Bouwman is the founder of Heartland Forest Heartland Forest opened as a fully accessible park for all people in 2004. Mr. Bouwman, founder and director, purchased the land in 1999, rescuing it from industrial development.
Over the years Dan’s dedication has led to the construction of barrier-free trails with outdoor learning centres, one of the largest tree houses in Canada with a 210 foot ramp, a turtle pond with ramped lookouts, a fish fond and frog pond with boardwalks. This past year an accessible mini putt course was added, as well as a train ride (to the delight of our students who have been able to visit!)
Mr. Bouwman was invited to come to visit our Grade 1 + 2 classrooms and shared with us about how he serves God by serving his community. As he has been blessed, so he feels called to bless others.
Mr. Bouwman also expressed his gratitude for our students' prayers for the work he does.
Young hearts in service!
