In September 1997 the board was formed, monies were raised and the paperwork was filed to begin developing Jim Elliot Christian High School. In honor of the 10th Anniversary of the official founding of JECHS, we want to recognize those who “believed without seeing” and had the vision that Jim Elliot Christian High School would one day become a reality. Thank you for your steadfast faith, prayers and for giving of your time, talent and treasure. It is because of you Jim Elliot Christian High School exists today. To God be the glory!
