In the past, I have written and posted extensively on Tyler area private schools and other local educational opportunities. King’s Academy represents one of our area’s more unique educational establishments. As a University Model School, King’s college style schedule and admissions process helps to better prepare local young people for the experience of higher education. The School is a non-denominational institution that accepts students from any Christian denomination, and has as its goal to foster and cultivate parental and family relationships.
After six years of operation and somewhere around twenty graduated seniors later, the school is reaching out to the local Tyler community to help raise scholarship funds for students who have the desire to attend the school, but may lack the financial means. As a rule, the school’s tuition runs about one half, to three fourths what is charged by other area private schools, and they remain committed to providing a top notch academic education, in a religious setting, to local families for relatively low tuition costs.
On May 1st King’s Academy will be holding its second annual Bowl-a-thon at Green Acres Bowling Lanes, in Tyler. The students will be collecting individual sponsorships who agree to a “per pin” donation. King’s has also invited area churches, private schools and homeschoolers to come out and participate in the event. The annual fund raiser is a great opportunity to support a local Tyler school, and not for profit ministry. Individuals who would like to participate in the event, in some capacity, whether through donations, sponsorships or bowling for dollars, are encouraged to contact King’s Academy by phone at (903)534-9992. For more information on King’s Academy go to their website at www.kacs.net, or see the following listings also located on this site: Something Different in Education, Something Different at King’s Academy, and Six- Man Football returns to Tyler.

Tyler Christian Heritage School is located off Dixie Drive close to the airport. The school is a non-profit ministry that was started by YWAM (Youth with a Mission) because they saw the need for children to learn biblical principles at the same time help them to be educated in a Christian way. Christian Heritage School is an amazing school that was pioneered in 1980 by Jim and Barbara Kilkenny. Jim and Barbara both had been teaching in public schools before starting Tyler Christian Heritage. They saw the need was great for truth being taught to the children, but more than them loving education, they love God and His word. In my opinion, they are truly heroes because they decided a long time ago to sacrifice their wants and needs so they could serve God and help spread the gospel of truth through a private school.
Their vision is to teach the children how to reason from God’s word and apply it to their everyday life. They offer kindergarten through 12Th grade. I myself went to the school for awhile and to be truthful I did not appreciate what was being taught because I was too immature and stubborn to realize the things that they were teaching me. I never once thought that there was a difference to what was being taught in private school and public school, not until I was older and left the school. When I entered the real world I regretted not taking education seriously and thinking that school was just boring. I now see that Christian Heritage School is a blessing. All the staff that tried to help me in school…didn’t do it for money but for the love of God. They make no money off teaching. They are doing it because they love education and see the importance of teaching based on godly principles. If I had to do it over, I would take every moment seriously and know that they truly care about my well being and the choices I make in life.
The staff knows that if they get you to reason from the truth you will know how to self govern and won’t need someone in life to tell you what to do. You will long to do what is right on your own if you can reason from the truth. The school provides a safe environment where children can learn about God, and all the subjects that He created. It might be a shock for some to realize that God was the originator of all the subjects that we now learn in school. Unfortunately, today in public schools they rob you of the truth that God was the creator of the universe and that without Him nothing exists. Christian Heritage teaches the right morals in life. The school also has many things to do with sports. The offer volleyball, basketball, soccer, tennis and track. They welcome home schooled children to come and play in any of the sport activities. The school is ready to work with your children and family, depending on your circumstances. They will always give people a chance and their heart is to not turn anyone away. Just like public school, Christian Heritage does have rules to go by to ensure the safety and well being of your children.
Some parents have always been worried whether their children would get a proper education. Many of the students that graduated from Christian Heritage School have gone on to pursue additional education in a junior college and eventually earn a bachelor degree. Going to Christian Heritage School won’t hinder your child from being the person they want to become or accomplishing their goals in life. It will only prepare them to be better equipped for life. So rest assured that if you choose to send your children to Christian Heritage that they would get an excellent education and make long lasting friendships.

Father Heart is located in Lindale, Texas, Garden Valley. It is a ministry for pregnant women who find themselves pregnant and no where to go without anyone to help. It is a non profit ministry and their mission is to help the girls that are in need get help and to save the life of their babies also.
Father Heart is a loving place that can help when you find yourself in a place trapped because of the choices you have made and are left pregnant and wondering what in the world do you do next. Father Heart can help you make a decision that is the most loving for you and your baby no matter what the circumstance is. You can find loving people there who are there to help you figure out things for yourself and share getting your life back on track. You also have an opportunity to continue working on your degree while you prepare for the most important decision of your life.
Father Heart offers counseling also for the girls and courses of care for you while you are there. It helps you decide whether you want to parent your baby or place your baby for adoption, which both choices are loving and hard at the same time. I know this because 10 years ago I chose to place my baby through Father Heart and it was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life at that time.
Even though its a loving decision it does not make it easy. On the other hand choosing to parent a baby is also hard. But no matter what you choose to do the staff at Father Heart will help you with your decisions. If you choose to keep your baby they help you get ready for mothering and if you choose to place, your baby they help you find a loving family that will love you and your baby. I will recommend Father Heart to anyone who is in need of help because they found themselves in unplanned pregnancy. While you are there you have the opportunity of meeting girls your age going through the same things you are going through.
The staff there are loving and there to help with anything that is needed. It is a very large beautiful home with a swimming pool and a large place for walking around and getting some exercise. You usually share a room with another person and the bedrooms are luxurious, better than some hotels I have been around.
If you happen to need a place or you know of anyone who needs a place to be while going through their pregnancy then Father Heart is the place to be around loving people who care for you and want to help you make the best loving decision for yourself and for your baby. If anyone who is in need of help and they are in a crisis pregnancy please tell them of the offer that Father Heart provides for them and their baby.
