Our History

Christ Church School was established in 1957 and has served Bell County for over
50 years.

Mission: Christ Church School provides a foundation for a lifetime of learning, service, and leadership through a classical Christian education that challenges minds and illuminates hearts.

Christ Church School nurtures the development of children by providing opportunities for them to mature spiritually in their relationship with God, mentally in their knowledge of creation, socially in their relationships with peers and physically in their health habits. We believe that each child is a special creation of God and that God has given each child an inquiring and discerning heart and mind. We work together with parents to provide each child a foundation to last a lifetime.

In 1957 Christ Episcopal Church established a parish school that has served the young families of Temple and East Bell County. The school is owned and operated as a ministry of Christ Church. As such it functions under the authority of the Rector (pastor) and Vestry (the governing board of elected lay leadership). The mission statement of the Church, knowing Christ and making him known, expresses our purpose in every area of church life, including the Christ Church School. Christ Church envisions our school as a nurturing, educational environment in which children can know Jesus Christ, grow in knowledge of the Christian Faith, and develop an understanding of the world that God has made.
