Each week, students at every campus gather together for chapel, where community worship and a powerful message inspire students to develop their love for God and His people.

How to Attend: If you have a grandchild in the Lower School (kindergarten–Grade 6), we would love to have you join us to experience one of our weekly chapel services. Contact the building administrator for your grandchild’s campus and let us know you’d like to attend.

Ways to Impact CHCA

For over 35 years, God has faithfully worked through our community to build a legacy of excellence rooted in Christ. Together with the Lord’s provision, we have impacted more lives than we ever thought possible—and we’re just getting started.

We invite you to join us in carrying the mission forward.

Give

At CHCA, giving is more than generosity—it’s a calling. Each gift is a blessing that directly impacts our students as they discover their gifts and grow into people who learn, lead, and serve with purpose.

Foundational Gifts

From the beginning, CHCA has been on a mission to provide excellence in education and programming with a Christian worldview. Foundational gifts generously support the annual needs of a life-changing CHCA educational experience.

Transformational Giving

We strive to shape students into the people God has created them to be. Your generosity impacts their story. Transformational gifts provide the resources to realize heroic programmatic goals, enabling more students to grow in Christ as they develop their skills and uncover their passions.

Legacy Giving

Life changes, and your plans can, too. Legacy gifts can be updated anytime. You can designate your gift for a specific purpose—from scholarships to academics, the arts, athletics, and faith and service—ensuring your generosity mirrors what matters most to you.

Legacy giving reflects the heart behind each purposeful gift, and gifts to CHCA of any size make a difference.

Scholarship Granting Organization

Expand access to Christian education—without spending more than you’ve budgeted for. The Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a state-certified program that allows you to redirect a portion of your Ohio state tax liability to CHCA and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.
