Community

The best way to learn about our community is to meet our community!
These gifted individuals invest in our preschool and kindergarten students.

  • Brittany Samp, Parent

    We had a lot of different options when it came to choose a school. Southwest Chicago Christian was our first and last stop because we were so impressed from the moment we set foot on campus. It feels like home.

  • Faith Triemstra, Kindergarten Teacher

    Knowing God has called me to teach young kindergarteners gives me great joy and purpose. Each day I look forward to exploring God’s incredible creation with the precious children God has placed in my classroom.

  • Monica Adewale, Parent

    The community at Southwest Chicago Christian is great. The saying, “It takes a village to raise a child” -- it’s true here. Everyone is working towards that same goal.

  • Rebecca Rael, Preschool Teacher

    Students demonstrate a curiosity for learning. I love encouraging that curiosity. It’s exciting to see their interest expand to things they didn’t think they wanted to learn about, or things they didn’t think they could learn about.
