As a pastor and parent, it is the burden of Pastor Levi to assist in providing parents with an alternative option for the education of their child(ren). The vision that he and the staff of Foundation Christian School share is to provide a high quality education in an environment that promotes both the educational and spiritual growth of the children.
Mr. Wyatt received his Bachelor’s degree in Church Administration from Champion Baptist College in May of 2009.

The Bible states in Psalm 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” I believe that along with the reward of being able to have children also comes the responsibility of preparing them for their future to the best of our ability. While academics often play a huge role in a child’s future, it should not be placed above, nor contradict, the foundational doctrines taught by our Christian faith. Unfortunately, in many school settings, the curriculum directly undermines the teachings of the Bible. After being in both settings, I firmly believe that the teachings of God’s Word and academic learning can be, and should be, taught hand-in-hand, allowing both to compliment each other. Further, while a Christian education cannot take the place of church or a Christian-led household, it will work to reiterate and reinforce the teachings of a pastor, youth pastor, Sunday school teacher and the like, all while academically preparing that child for the years ahead.

After having received a Christian education while attending high school, Mrs. Cummings sees the need to have that educational setting for children herself. Having worked in public education for five years, she is excited for the opportunity to teach at Foundation Christian School. People often ask why Amanda loves working with kids and she replies “Children are God’s heritage. If we can educate them while they are young to trust in the Lord by giving their whole life to him built on a good Christian education implemented in the Bible then I feel we have given them the essential tools they need to face the world we live in.”
