Sanchez Family

Meet the Sanchez family and hear how God led them to serve our school and our community:

Hello, my name is Chelsee Sanchez and I am a preschool teacher at BCS!  My husband, Josh and I got married 7 years ago in Hawaii, where he was stationed for the army. After four years we moved to the northwest trying to find what our life was meant for. Eventually, we moved to Josh’s hometown, GJ, where we started our family. Our first child Alana Wrynn was born and two years later our son, Remington Charles was born. Josh and I grew up very differently. His family didn’t have much involvement in a church where as my family was constantly involved. I grew up attending youth group and camps, and a mission trip to Mexico. When I met Josh, our differing religious backgrounds wasn’t a concern for me, I felt he was meant for me. For the first couple years of marriage we chose not to attend church or talk about religion, because it became an argument.

Meet the Hammer family and hear how they relocated to Grand Junction, found BCS and stayed:

In Spring 2018, our family moved to Grand Junction from the Front Range.  Our biggest decision was finding a new school. We took a a tour at BCS, met the teachers, and learned about the programs.  Everyone was so kind and took such an interest in our children.  We knew God’s peace immediately.  Everyone reflected God's love there and it was such a safe place.  Our oldest was welcomed into preschool immediately.  We also enrolled for summer-care, and enjoyed Basketball and Art Camp.

Our next decision was where he would go to Kindergarten. We both grew up in public schools, but were leaning towards a charter school.  After searching, praying, and discussing with other parents, God led us to "keep a good thing going" at BCS.  Since that time, our family has never regretted this decision!  We cannot say more amazing and wonderful things about this school and all those who work there.  

lambert family

Meet the Lambert family and hear their story of leaving and returning to BCS:  

We are the Lambert family. My name is Erin, my husband is Jeremy and our six year old daughter is Allie.  My husband and his family have been Bookcliff Baptist members for 30+ years and I began attending with Jeremy 11 years ago.  Allie attended BCS pre-school and had a wonderful experience.  Heading into Kindergarten, we struggled with whether to send her to BCS or public school. We continually went back and forth on the decision.  Public school was free, near our house, offered 1/2 days, and we wouldn't have to worry about the transition from private to public when the time came.

I can’t begin to thank my daughters teachers and staff at Bookcliff enough for all of the care and encouragement they have giving her this year. As a parent with a child who had not been in daycare or in anyone’s care other than her grandmothers it was terrifying for me to leave her at first. She has grown so much over the last year and I am so thankful my husband and I made the decision to take her to Bookcliff.

This is our second year at BCS and my daughter loves every single teacher here! I have been amazed at all the skills and knowledge she has picked up at BCS. We have tried other preschools in the valley and no one compares. BCS offers so much more than we found anywhere else. It is always clean, the teachers are always genuinely happy and pleasant, and they cultivate a happy positive atmosphere that my daughter is thriving in.

During my time at BCS, I was able to form close, lifelong relationships with many people. BCS instilled in me positive values that have served me well in my jobs, high school, and college career. Most importantly, however, BCS gave me a solid foundation in Christian values and knowledge that has blossomed into a passionate relationship with Jesus—and I will always be thankful for that

I am so thankful my parents were able to send me to a Christian school with such loving and caring staff and teachers. It was a different transition from public to private school. I can’t say I didn’t make mistakes, but through God’s grace I made it through high school still wanting to go to church and not straying away from God’s plans for me. Which makes BCS’s motto verse, Proverbs 22:6, perfect: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will NOT depart from it.” Thank you teachers, staff, and friends of BCS!

Going to BCS gave me a very firm standing in my Christian faith. The teachers there were able to show me Christ in ways that have remained with me through my adolescence and that I plan to carry on into adulthood as well. Spending time with strong Christians at such a formidable age helped me become the person I am today.
