Our Story
OVER 30 YEARS AGO…
Following much prayer of many faithful believers committed to Christian Education, Julie Gonzalez received words from the Lord through scripture, devotionals and prayer that Quesnel needed a Christian School. A nurse at the time, she thought the vision for the school was not meant for her. God was persistent. Over the coming months, God sent along Gary Daly, a public school principal, Neil Stenke, a principal of a Christian school in Kamloops, and Pastor Jim Pratt who all supported and encouraged the vision tremendously. Pastor Bob Wagner of Bethel church provided free space to the school for the first year.
North Cariboo Christian School opened its doors in September 1994, starting with 6 grades, 14 students, and 1 teacher.
Mrs. Michelle Sargent has been the biggest blessing to our school for the past 30 years. She was the school’s first teacher, principal, and janitor, all wrapped in one job. Today, she teaches the Grade 8 & 9 classes and she has written, choreographed, and directed the annual Christmas concert each year.
In July 2002, the school relocated from the facilities at Bethel Pentecostal Church to the Richbar School Building.
Today, the school has over 130 students, a full complement of teaching staff, bus driver, janitorial staff, society of members and board of directors, and many wonderful memories from generations of students, staff, and families.
This is God’s school.
