PRESSING ON
can sometimes look like childhood wonder
and other times be unmitigated
HARD WORK.
At the end of the day we realize it is
FAITHFULNESS
which is a gift from God.
In 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NIV) we read – “But since you excel in everything – in faith, in speech,
in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you – see that you
also excel in this grace of giving.” The Message Bible version adds, “This (giving) was totally
spontaneous … What explains it was that they had first given themselves unreservedly to God.
The other giving simply flowed out of the purposes of God working in their lives.”
There is great power in one gift added to the faithful gift of another. Just as it takes dedicated
individuals to impact a great athletic team, it takes individual gifts added together to powerfully
impact a great school. The financial gifts reflect a show of solidarity for Christian education, a
bold display of camaraderie with other members of our school community, and an unquestionable
resolve to carry on the mission of spiritual and academic excellence.
This investment in a child’s future goes beyond tuition dollars. The bottom line is that our
students’ lives represent a powerful testimony in the world concerning the grace of Jesus Christ
and are supported and fueled by Christians who believe that a Bible-based education is a worthy
investment. Recently recognized by Best Schools.org as one of the top 50 Christian Schools in
America, CHS, to God’s glory, fulfills its mission to partner with parents and churches to prepare
Christian Scholars; together we prepare leaders who will make a difference in the world for Jesus
Christ.
As an independent school, CHS has and will depend upon the generosity of contributors to
advance our mission. Your investment of time, talent and treasure are also essential components
to the functioning of this special ministry. We are so thankful and blessed by the generosity of so
many servants. Thank you for “giving unreservedly to God and to us!”
Whether you are a current parent, alumnus, parent of an alumnus, grandparent, or long-time friend
of CHS, I hope you will take time to stop by for a visit or to enjoy an all-school event. Please give
me a call, as I would count it a privilege to share with you the great programs in operation, and also
hear of our exciting vision for the future of Christian Heritage School.
God bless you,
Bruce Stempien

The Endowment for Christian Heritage School
Commemorative Contributions
Our endowment was created in July of 2006. The current
balance is $472,745. We deeply appreciate the generous
donors who have contributed to this fund over the years.
We thank the following donors who have sent memorial
contributions totaling $43,245.00:
The Heritage of Faith Campaign (projected launch in
late 2014 or early 2015)
Christian Heritage School now looks to the future. We are
poised to establish a strong foundation for our future growth
and strategic development to meet the educational and
spiritual needs of students into the next generation.
The desire of our founders Pastor and Mrs. Anderson was
to provide a quality K-12 Christian School alternative to
the families of Fairfield County and southern Connecticut.
Forty years into the life of CHS, we are poised to establish
a strong base for future growth and enthusiastic strategic
development to meet the demands of the educational
and spiritual needs of students in the 21st century. An
important challenge for CHS will be to begin our next
generation of life with no debt, increase our endowment to
over $2 million, and complete the transfer of ownership of
a campus worth nearly $10 million. As God blesses, CHS
will continue to be an outstanding educational institution;
we will be a place where Christian Scholars become
tomorrow’s leaders and young adults prepare to make
a significant and enduring impact for Jesus Christ in the
world.
“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds
of the Lord, His power and the wonders He has done.”
(Psalm 78:4)

Annual Fund
The 2013-2014 Annual Fund raised $667,000 and we are very grateful to all who contributed! This year 100% of
our Senior Staff, 100% of our Board of Directors and 100% of our faculty and staff donated to the Annual Fund and
enthusiastically supported the programs of Christian Heritage School. The Annual Fund is the highest priority for
fundraising at Christian Heritage School. Each gift provides immediate and direct benefit to students and faculty, providing
the needed funds to bridge the gap between the tuition our families pay and the actual cost. We also seek funds to
grow our tuition assistance fund and support critical projects to improve our campus and enhance our facilities and
programs. We received generous donations for numerous programs and projects including some very exciting campus
improvements. These improvements included three complete renovations of science classrooms, two lower school
classrooms and lobby and public space enhancements. Gym improvements included a new scoreboard, lighting, and
protective padding, musical equipment, sound equipment, video projector and extensive new wiring. Other projects
included school-wide security systems, major building roof repairs, beautiful new fencing on White Plains Road, major
classroom infrastructure, computers, Wi-Fi, and other technology improvements.

Summer Missions
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:30-31
Though we do not include donations
for our students’ summer mission
trips in this report, we want to thank
the hundreds of donors and prayer
partners for their generous support
of our students and chaperones.
One hundred percent of funds
received for summer missions are
allocated directly to each student’s trip
expenses.
Integral to the mission of CHS is
the equipping of students in such a
way that they would develop hearts
which are attentive to the needs
of the world around them. Christ’s
mandate to “Love your neighbor as
yourself” is most visibly represented
in school sponsored missions trips to
destinations both domestically and
abroad. As students are intentionally
removed from comforts and attractions
of home and are given time and space
to focus on doing work that Christ
would do, eyes are opened and hearts
are transformed. The 2014 summer
mission trips were to Colorado and
to the Dominican Republic. Past
destinations have also included
Zambia, Costa Rica, and Hurricane
Sandy Relief in Staten Island, NY.
This summer missions program
complements our community service
hours, which encourages students
to also get involved with their local
church throughout the academic year.
The Bell Ceremony
This new CHS tradition was
introduced in 2009. The graduating
class and kindergarten class each
line up on opposite sides of the
school bell, taking turns ringing “in”
to their CHS journey, and ringing
“out” of their CHS journey. We
pray together and then the balloons
(one for each of the students) are
released. It is a touching moment
that reminds us all of how quickly
our students grow up at CHS.

12 Days of Christmas
December 1-12, 2013
On behalf of the entire CHS community, we offer our deep appreciation for your support of the 2013 12 Days of Christmas
online auction at Christian Heritage School held during the first twelve days of December.
This year was the first time for us to run an online auction. You helped us raise needed funds for program improvement
and tuition assistance. 152 bidders placed 980 bids and purchased 256 items. In total, our auction raised $43,000 for
Christian Heritage School and the Lower School Class Basket effort was an important part of this success! This very
special project was taken on by our 10 Lower School classes. Each class sponsored a unique gift basket designed
specifically for an exceptional local charity. Not only did we collect needed items for 10 local charities, but we raised
$2,300 for CHS from contributions from donors who supported this effort.
Once again, thank you for your generous support of God’s work at Christian Heritage School. It is appreciated more than
you know and is a great encouragement to everyone involved in our ministry.

Vines & Vignettes
May 29-31, 2014
For the first time, we collaborated with two local, like-minded organizations for a garden-themed fundraising event,
raising over $20,000 in net proceeds for program improvement at Christian Heritage School, St. Ann Academy and for
the Black Rock Food Pantry! Vines & Vignettes was graciously hosted by CHS parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Sikora at
their historic estate, The Chimneys, located in the Blackrock neighborhood of Bridgeport. Capably coordinated by CHS
parent volunteer, Mrs. Tracey LoStocco and St. Ann’s Director of Advancement, Mrs. Lindsay Chessare, this three-day
extravaganza could not have happened without the sacrificial giving and efforts of our volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and
patrons. Because of this spirit of generosity, we will be able to make a significant difference in the lives of many people. In
Hebrews 13:16 we read, “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
Vines & Vignettes exemplied the collaborative beauty of working with other local Christian organizations. Through your
generosity, you have shown your commitment to invest in the lives of children in our communities. The program included:
• Preview Gala - This gala party event served as a preview of the transformed property
grounds as well as a “meet and greet” with our celebrity consultant and various
local officials.

Heritage Golf Classic
Mill River Country Club - May 7, 2013
Each year, the Heritage Golf Classic has provided a fun event with great
fellowship. Golfers had an opportunity to meet some of CHS’s finest students on
the course and enjoy a wonderful program, learning more about how the school
is growing and changing. This year’s tournament was held at Mill River Country
Club in Stratford.
We are pleased to report that the tournament raised almost $19,000 in net
proceeds for CHS! The event was a huge success and it could not have
happened without the devotion of our volunteers, players, and sponsors. With
this spirit of generosity, we will be able to make a significant difference in the
lives of many students and families.
Your involvement in the Christian
Heritage Golf Classic goes much
further than just this one event. The
ministry at Christian Heritage is far
reaching, providing both academic
excellence and a spiritual foundation
that will go with our students
throughout their entire lives. Because
of your generosity, you have shown a
commitment and an investment in the
lives of many.
Thank you to the following
contributors, including
sponsors, golfers, and
friends, who made
this very special
event possible.

Total Giving Summary
July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 (Excluding Missions)
Philemon 1:6 – “I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every
good thing we share for the sake of Christ.”
Over 350 generous donors including 100% of the Senior Staff, General Board of Directors and Faculty and Staff
contributed $667,000 to the ongoing operations, funds and special projects at Christian Heritage School. We are deeply
grateful to our CHS friends and family.
Our school has been blessed by the financial investment of many who support our mission; we are committed to
developing Christian Scholars by providing an outstanding college preparatory education that is founded on and grounded
in biblical truth. Daily, the name of Jesus Christ is lifted up as teachers proclaim his Lordship through instruction and the
testimony of their lives!
We are reminded of the impact of godly teachers on the lives of young people. In Luke 6:40 we read, “The student is
not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” The Annual Fund is a critical source
of support for the exceptional work of our teachers and staff and an investment in a strong Christ-centered education for
students in Southern Connecticut.
A Christian Heritage School graduate will be a self-assured, confident, courageous, God-honoring leader:
• capable of identifying and developing God-given gifts, talents and abilities
• confidently able to question with God-given wisdom, logic, reasoning, and curiosity
• compelled to pursue God
• compassionate and responsive to the needs of others drawn from an experience of active service in God’s name
• able to communicate and express Christ’s love fluently and effectively and be able to listen actively
• ready to direct or unite with a team or community to encourage, inspire, serve, and problem solve with creativity
Our goal for the 2014-2015 school year is to have increased participation in the Annual Fund to 400 generous donors,
increased involvement of our current parents, alumni and other constituent groups, and once again achieve 100%
participation of our Board of Directors, Senior Staff, and Faculty and Staff.
