We have exciting news! Since you all have been following Esther's story for the past year (we couldn't have fought as hard as we did without your prayers, meals, donations, and flexibility!), you have most likely seen and heard about #EsthersMiracle and EsthersMiracle.org. Since Esther charged Jim and myself "to help other kids with ports" (which is what she wanted to do when she grew up), New Heart Christian School is expanding to become Esther's Miracle, Inc. and host a number of special programs - in addition to NHCS.

Esther's Miracle, Inc. plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on 4/15/23. The goals of NHCS remain the same, with a slight change in emphasis on our community service projects to serve "kids with ports" (kids and their families impacted by cancer and other childhood diseases).  NHCS' Facebook page will reflect this update for the rest of the year as Esther's Miracle / New Heart Christian School. We will also have a separate NHCS Group hosted by Esther's Miracle page. There will be individual Groups for each of Esther's Miracle programs (details to come soon).

We're excited to continue partnering with you and your families as God continues to grow this mission. We're blessed beyond measure to partner with you, your children, and both our local and global community to see EVERY child grow up and fulfill the special plans God has for his/her life.

“Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.” (Galatians 6:6)

We are officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity by the IRS.

The Lord desires for New Heart Christian School to be a recognized cooperative effort between home and school, and open to any family regardless of income.  As such, we only accept "donations" versus "tuition," in the hope and faith that donations will cover our basic needs and overhead costs.

We understand as parents, too, that it is very VERY challenging these days to have both a job and a family as well as to homeschool, so one of our goals is to make it easier for you to be able to do all three!
