Family Ministries
Mission, Vision & Philosophy
The Family Ministries department exists as a way to minister to families as they navigate the many different roles required of parents in a University-Model School. Our vision is for Family Ministries to exist as the hub of a small town. We want to help families build and strengthen their communities at the school, provide avenues for families to connect, serve and pray, and walk with families through times of joy and sadness. Our vision is not to replace the church but to be a full extension of the body of Christ at school. Family Ministries department creates a safe space where parents’ needs are met by listening, sharing, and learning more about God’s role in their families, thus continuing to foster a school community rooted in faith and love.
Meet Our Team
Our Family Ministries team is made up of four key members, each serving our parents and community in a different capacity. As women who have served as co-teachers, they know what it looks and feels like to be in the thick of life in a University-Model® School.

Looking for homeschooling strategies? Want to Uncover your child's learning style and find the fruit within the University-Model®? Family Mentor Ellen Schuknecht is available for one-on-one meetings to help you do just that! If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact Ellen.
