Give your student a strong moral foundation with Coastal School Ministries. We offer released-time Bible education that provides a safe and engaging space for students to explore their faith and develop a deep understanding of biblical principles.
The Problem & Our Solution
In a world filled with shifting values and constant pressure, students need an anchor. They’re bombarded with messages that often leave them feeling isolated, anxious, and without a clear sense of purpose. At Coastal School Ministries, we believe that biblical principles are the timeless guide they need. Our program isn’t about rigid rules; it’s about providing a compassionate community where students can ask tough questions, build lasting friendships, and find their baseline for right and wrong.
We provide a crucial off-campus outlet for students to deepen their spiritual roots, ensuring that a relationship with God is not just a Sunday activity, but a living foundation for their daily lives. Our curriculum is designed to be accessible and relevant, helping students navigate the challenges they face with confidence and hope.
What We Offer
- A Solid Foundation: Students receive a concentrated amount of instruction. High school students get 135 hours per semester, while middle school students receive 68 hours per semester. This is a powerful commitment to their spiritual growth, especially when you consider that an adult attending one weekly church service only receives about 52 hours per year.
- A Safe Haven: We create a no-judgment zone where students feel comfortable asking anything. Our teachers are mentors who guide them with care, helping them discover the relevance of the Bible to their own lives.
- A Community of Believers: Our classes foster genuine connections. Students form friendships with peers who share their values, creating a powerful support network that extends far beyond the classroom.
“I just know that I can go to God for anything…”
“CSM has really helped me become closer to God & strengthened my faith.”
“This class is amazing… if you just trust in God, he will take you a long way.”
