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 Newbury family, who has been a part of the BCS family for 9 years!  Hear about their experience, and their oldest son's transition into middleschool. 

Hello! My name is Rachael and I am writing to share our story and how BCS has been a blessing to my husband Peter and our children Isaiah, Noah and Esa. God first led us to BCS through preschool. I was working as an Occupational Therapist with District 51 in their early education preschool program and one of the teacher’s recommended BCS.  Isaiah was struggling at the preschool he was attending, and the close attention, structure and love he received at BCS was just what he needed. Fast forward and Isaiah continued at BCS through 5th grade, and now is attending his first year of middle school.  

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.

We realize that making choices for your child's education is a huge blessing and responsiblity.
Meet the Retherford family and hear about their journey through this important decision:

We were definitely the family on the fence about where to send our daughter to kindergarten.  We thought long and hard about this decision!!!  We absolutely loved Bookcliff Preschool and the staff and wanted to keep her there.  It was a financial commitment, but since Charlie started, we haven’t second guessed our decision once.  Making financial sacrifices for your child’s education is a very easy pill to swallow!  When I compared the curriculum and the hours she would receive from Bookcliff vs. public school, it was a no brainer.  We were sold on the all-day, 5 day a week, Kindergarten which is VERY unique to Grand Junction.  We really felt Charlie would enjoy learning a lot more, and would be much more effective at BCS.
