Contributions Create Comfortable Environment for Church School

By Stan Bindell, QCBN

Word of Life Assembly of God Church School will have air conditioning and heating, thanks to Balanced Heating and Air Conditioning, Prescott Winsupply, and individual donors.

Balanced Heating and Air Conditioning donated the labor, Prescott Winsupply donated the supplies and individuals contributed more than $20,000 to make this a reality.

David McClellan, owner of Balanced Heating and Air Conditioning in Chino Valley, said this is his way of giving back to the community. “There is no better place to give than a local church and kids,” he said.

Anthony Jackson, with Prescott Winsupply, said he wants to help children learn in a safe, nurturing environment.

Pastor Todd League said the school began last year with kindergarten and first grade. Second and third grades will be added this year. Core subjects will be taught, along with Christian values.

Each class will have a maximum of 12 children. The program is tuition-based but funds are available through the state’s Empowerment Scholarship Account private school funds. Church staff members are available to help parents through the process.

The school is located in a retrofitted building. The church has 20 vacant acres and plans to grow the school each year.

League said the donations are a blessing. “People have been awesome about making this work.” QCBN
