History

The idea for a new non-denominational Christian school in Murfreesboro came to Sheila Given in the spring of 1994 while she was participating in a Bible study. She began discussing the idea with community members, which led to a community meeting in August 1996 that attracted more leaders for the future school. First housed in Believers’ Chapel Church, the school opened its doors in August 1997 serving students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

In 1998, the school purchased an equestrian facility and remodeled it to house the school. Seventh and eighth grade classes were added after 2000 and a new building opened in September 2004.
