ALL IN CAMPAIGN
At James Island Christian School, we are committed to providing an academically excellent education grounded in a biblical worldview—equipping students to think critically, stand firm in their faith, and leave a lasting impact for Christ upon graduation.  We are boldly praying for 100% participation as we work toward our goal of raising $140,000 to support two essential funds.

WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY
Parents are invited to our JICS Bible Study beginning Thursday, September 18 in the JICS Conference Room from 8:05–9:00 AM (right after drop-off).
We’ll meet weekly—no prior Bible study experience or homework needed, and you don’t need to purchase the book to attend. Together, we’ll walk through questions from Search the Scriptures by Alan Stibbs, starting in Genesis.
We’d love for you to be part of this time of fellowship and learning!
