About Us

 

In January 2014, the  Turner County Christian Learning Center was formed to allow Turner County’s Public School and Homeschool students to be instructed in the Bible during regular school hours.

 

We are a non-profit Christian organization with a Board of Directors consisting of local Christians from different denominations who have a firm agreement that Biblical instruction is needed for our local students.

 

How is this legal?  It is permitted under the Release Time Religious Education program, which was approved and viewed as constitutional by the U. S. Supreme Court in 1952.

 

Since February 2014, Turner County Christian Learning Center has been allowed to teach Middle School and High School students who, in return, receive connection course credits or elective course credits.  This program is open to all students in participating grades, regardless of religion.

 

Each semester, students sign up for the class. Their parents sign a permission slip. Students are transported to an off-campus location during regular school hours for classes lasting 50 minutes Monday through Friday.  Currently, classes are being held at First Baptist in their Family Ministries Building.

 

We are a non-profit organization.  We do NOT receive any money from the schools or local, state, or federal government for classes.

 

We rely solely on the generosity of individuals, local churches, organizations, and businesses.  All donations ARE tax-deductible.
