BUILDING on a STRONG FOUNDATION

Partnering to inspire academic curiosity, impeccable character, and Christian leadership grounded in biblical truth.

MISSION VISION

Students who live with purpose and lead with intent for God’s glory alone.

Fellowship Families,

As we reflect on the 2023/2024 school year, I’m reminded of a fundamental truth in construction: the potential size and strength of any structure depends on the foundation it’s built upon. As I reflect on Fellowship’s history, I see the incredible strength of our foundation.

For nearly four decades, we have been blessed with faculty and staff members who love the Lord, are committed to growing in their craft, and care deeply for the students they intentionally invest in each day.

The strength and depth of our Fellowship community of families is unparalleled. As I’ve had the privilege to begin building relationships with many of you, I have been impressed by the warmth of the community and the commitment we share to help make Fellowship better each year.

It’s no surprise, given the exceptional parents and staff investing in them, that our students are an extraordinary group of smart, caring, and skilled young men and women, each uniquely gifted by God with incredible potential. The foundation from which our students are building upon equips them to launch confidently into the world, ready to make a meaningful impact as leaders who serve with integrity, purpose, and a heart for God’s calling.

A strong foundation sets our students up for success. From National Merit Finalists (Brock Stoller and Jack Ring), a Gold Member distinction with the AP School Honor Roll, and our National Beta School of Merit distinction, it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to academic achievement at Fellowship.

Our spiritual development remains intentionally integrated into every aspect of our programming, keeping it at the forefront of our education. Our high school students experienced various Winterim opportunities designed to offer them unique opportunities for spiritual growth and personal development. These included mission trips to Jamaica, Florida, and the Dominican Republic, as well as impactful service projects. Students also engaged in experiential learning ranging from international educational travel to on-campus courses allowing for deeper study in areas such as drones and blacksmithing.

Middle school students engaged in life-changing moments during Spiritual Emphasis Day, where they were challenged with the idea that to really follow Jesus you have to be willing to step away from the world. A great challenge for everyone, especially middle school students at this pivotal stage in life!

Our Elementary division’s Winterfest embraced the theme of “Renew” guiding students to cultivate a deeper faith, focusing on renewing their thoughts in their relationship with Jesus. Winterfest always provides a joyful, age-appropriate way to point our students to Jesus through service projects, fun games, crafts and activities. Each year, we purposefully build upon a strong foundation of faith, grounded in the unchanging truths of God’s Word.

Our Arts Program experienced record ticket sales for all of our theater shows: Pride and Prejudice, The Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan and Wendy. Fellowship also celebrated Maddox Lewis, State Champion in GHSA Literary Competition for Argumentative Essay Writing, a record number of class-made candles were sold through our elementary division’s Spark and Ignite Entrepreneur Class, extremely high scores for middle and high school band in their first Georgia Large Group Performance and Evaluation and two students who competed in GMEA All-District Band (Walker Shields and Jackson Shoemaker).

Building on a strong foundation of leadership, teamwork, and sacrifice, our athletic teams continued to experience success: our football team won their fifth consecutive region championship while advancing to the state quarterfinals or higher for a sixth consecutive year, boys’ cross country finished 8th at the state championships, and girls’ cross country secured their seventh consecutive state championship qualification with a state runner-up finish in 2023.

Our wrestling team won back-to-back area championships, boys’ lacrosse claimed the area championship advancing to the state quarterfinals, and girls’ lacrosse won back-to-back area championships advancing to the state quarterfinals for the second consecutive year. Fellowship boys’ tennis earned their third consecutive region championship and state quarterfinal appearance, and girls’ tennis earned back-to-back state quarterfinal appearances. To close out spring, our boys’ 4x800 relay team earned a school best finish as the state runner-up, and our girls’ soccer team won back-to-back region and state championships, a third for the program.

A solid foundation is essential to a successful future. As we look forward to what God has in store for Fellowship, it’s a privilege to help steward this incredible institution that partners with families to inspire academic curiosity, impeccable character, and Christian leadership grounded in Biblical truth.

In His Service,

Annual Fund Gifts at Work 2023-2024

Thank you for your generous investment in our school! We are thrilled to share the exceptional success of our 2023-2024 Annual Fund with our remarkable Fellowship community. Your unwavering generosity and commitment have propelled us beyond our goals. During our 10-day Annual Fund Rally, we surpassed our goal of $500,000 by raising more than $530,000 through the support of 96% of our families, faculty, and staff. We are ecstatic to report that the Annual Fund greatly exceeded our goal, finishing at $663,956 in Annual Fund dollars donated by families, grandparents, alumni, and friends of Fellowship! This remarkable achievement empowers us to continue our mission of providing a covenant Christian education to all our students.

While tuition covers operational expenses each year, the money raised through the Annual Fund contributes to the special projects and initiatives that allow your children to benefit from the intentional curriculum

and purposeful programming that sets Fellowship apart. Your generosity exceeded every record previously held for the Fellowship Annual Fund rally and your support enabled us to invest in a number of initiatives including expanded safety and security measures, curriculum development, capital improvements, transportation, new technology, programming, and other essential equipment for the Arts, professional development, and more!

We are immensely grateful for your dedication and generosity.

Your support is pivotal in maintaining the remarkable environment here at Fellowship Christian School. Thank you for your unwavering investment and confidence in our stewardship. Together, we are making a profound impact on the Kingdom of God.

SAFETY & SECURITY

Ensuring the safety and security of our students and staff is paramount. With the 2023-2024 Annual Fund, we were able to invest in new safety and security measures including threat resistant film on school windows, an upgraded radio system, and hiring an additional officer on campus.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

In our ongoing effort to integrate Biblical principles and equip students for the real world, we invested in enriching curriculums. This included the Generous Classroom curriculum for K-5th. The Generous curriculum empowers students to live a life of generosity in their schools, homes and communities. We also implemented a digital social habits curriculum for K-12th grades, aligning with our mission to foster Christ-centered citizenship in the real world AND online.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

Our campus continues to evolve with important capital projects funded through the Annual Fund. Capital improvement projects included sidewalk and gate updating, upgrades to Studio 86, protection for the floor in Gym 1, new folding chairs to be used for chapel and events, and other essential items to meet the needs of our expanding school. These improvements optimize our space and functionality, accommodating our growing school community.

TRANSPORTATION

Investments in transportation are critical for supporting our educational programs. The purchase of another yellow school bus ensures smooth transportation for field trips, morning routes, trips to and from the Paladin Center, and athletics. This furthers our commitment to providing comprehensive opportunities for our students.

ATHLETICS

Our Athletics facilities were upgraded with a new mesh windscreen. Mesh windscreen banners offer many benefits beyond simply making our outdoor facilities look great. They allow our athletes to play their best by improving ball visibility, blocking out distraction and reducing wind flowing through sports fields and court fences.

ARTS & TECHNOLOGY, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS

Our faculty and staff benefit from continuous support for their professional development, enhancing our educational environment. Annual Fund contributions also blessed our Parent Teacher Fellowship, helping to support events, services, gatherings, and initiatives throughout the year. Additionally, the Annual Fund enriched the Arts by providing new digital camera equipment and resources for our performing arts programs. Finally, it supported our TREAD program, offering outdoor experiences for 5th–12th grade students to develop survival skills, leadership, endurance, and resilience while marveling at the beauty of God’s creation.

GIVING WITH PURPOSE

Discover The Various Ways You Can Support Fellowship’s Mission and Vision

While tuition covers expenses, Fellowship relies heavily on the generosity of our parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends. If you wish to support the covenant mission and vision of Fellowship, there are many ways that you can contribute to our success and continued growth. All gifts, no matter the size, directly impact our students, faculty, and staff as they help to create the environments and experiences that set Fellowship apart.

Annual Giving –

As Fellowship’s number one fundraiser, the Annual Fund provides for programming and educational enrichment projects not funded by tuition. What does that mean exactly? While tuition covers operational expenses, contributions made to the Annual Fund help finance projects that benefit the daily experiences of our students, faculty, and staff. Whether investing in new computers, professional development for our faculty, renovating a classroom, or completing construction that enhances our learning environments, the projects supported by the Annual Fund make a transformational difference for every student every day.

Endowment Giving –

The Fellowship Legacy Fund will provide a permanent, sustainable source of funding for Fellowship. Gifts to the Legacy Fund serve as the principal that is invested, and each year a portion of the value of the fund is paid out to support the fund’s purpose. Any annual earnings above and beyond the distribution are reinvested into the fund, increasing its market value and its ability to provide support for its designated purpose into perpetuity. Each gift made to the Fellowship Legacy Fund helps to increase the principal investment and can be designated to support projects that align with the donors’ interests.*

Planned Giving –

Planned giving is simply arranging a gift now to be allocated at a future date. Through a will or trust, individuals can choose to designate Fellowship, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, as the beneficiary of retirement, insurance, stock, or mutual fund accounts.*

* Planned Giving and Endowment Giving work hand-in-hand. While donors may designate a planned gift from a will, trust, etc., to a capital campaign or other specified projects, those same gifts can also be designated for investment in an existing Endowment to allow the gift to live on in perpetuity.

Georgia GOAL –

Through Georgia’s Education Expense Credit, the GOAL Scholarship Program allows taxpayers to designate a portion of their state their tax dollars for the improvement of K-12 educational opportunities. Due to Fellowship’s partnership with Georgia GOAL, taxpayer contributions help to provide financial aid for qualified, covenant students, enabling them to benefit from a Fellowship education. In turn, taxpayers benefit by receiving a 100% Georgia income tax credit in exchange for their contribution.

ANNUAL GIVING ENDOWMENT GIVING

The Annual Fund runs July 1 through June 30 each year and raises over $500,000 toward the operating budget.

What is it?

The endowment, comprised of invested restricted and unrestricted funds, helps Fellowship plan for a sustainable future.

Funds, typically used in the year given, are flexible and accessible to fund projects that support and enhance the educational experiences of our students.

The Annual Fund projects vary each year based on need. Funds may be used for technology enhancements, small construction projects, curriculum purchases, athletics, arts, STEM, and much more.

How does it work?

Where is it used?

The principal gift is invested and a small percentage is drawn each year for designated projects. This fund is steady and ongoing providing for future growth.

Endowment funds are most often used to support faculty development and compensation, financial assistance for deserving covenant students, and special academic programming.

FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ENDOWMENTS

THE FELLOWSHIP LEGACY ENDOWMENT FUND

| TOTAL $90,903*

Fellowship Christian School established the endowment fund to help with future unexpected needs and ongoing operating expenses of the school. The consistent income stream provided by an endowment ensures that Fellowship can withstand economic downturns and financial challenges by making it possible to continue to provide a covenant Christian education to desiring families despite any change in economic conditions. The Legacy Endowment was established in 2022, and consists of the following named Endowments:

THE PHILIPPIANS 2:4 ENDOWMENT FUND | TOTAL $62,887*

This fund was created in 2023 by Fellowship parents to establish financial aid resources to benefit middle or high school students who have a demonstrated need for financial assistance to attend Fellowship Christian School. Philippians 2:4 states the following: “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, But also for the interests of others.” In an effort to exemplify this New Testament verse, the donors created a financial aid endowment that other Fellowship donors may support as they look for ways to help those in financial need.

CHRISTY GOAR MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT FUND | TOTAL $22,389*

The fund was established in 2024 by Sherry Goar to honor the life and memory of her sister, Christy Goar. Christy was a beloved 5th-grade teacher who impacted the lives of hundreds of families over her tenure at Fellowship. The fund was created to establish financial aid resources to benefit students of a single-parent family, initially entering 1st – 5th grade, with a demonstrated need for financial assistance to attend Fellowship Christian School. Jeremiah 29:11 was Christy’s favorite verse, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Christy’s life and legacy embraced the full knowledge of this truth as she invested herself in the lives of the 5th graders she had the joy of teaching.

GENERAL UNRESTRICTED FUND

| TOTAL $5,627*

* As of June 30, 2024
