Faith Elementary and Middle School is not owned by any church. The school is not a member of any church organization. The church welcomes support and participation from all churches and other religious and non-religious organizations. Some donations from organizations and churches are both solicited and voluntarily donated given. To survive as a Christian school, the school depends upon the good-will of churches, other religious, and also, non-religious organizations and people.

    The school is independently organized and operates independently of all churches and other organizations. The school is interested in membership in organizations such as Association of Christian School International for accreditation and other educational purposes. It has a similar interest in The Association of Elementary Schools of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Likewise, the school enjoys friendly association and contacts with other Christian schools, other non-public schools, and also public schools and institutions of higher education. The focus of the school’s interest in these schools is primarily educational and cultural enrichment for students. A measure of staff development is also a way in which this school benefits from association with other schools. 

    Faith is proud and grateful to have enjoyed the loving and willing support of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Dover and Vicinity (IMA), under the superb leadership of it's president, the Rev. Dr. Richard M. Avant. The IMA has made an at least $1,000.00 per year donation, for nearly each year of it's existence, having been founded the same year as the school, 1982. During the winter-spring of 1999-2000, IMA leaders,  the members of it's various member churches constituencies, in cooperation with Mr. John Vincent, owner of Christian radio station WQVL, Heaven 1600, Dover, held a live broadcast praise-a-thon as a special fund raiser for Faith during a very critical time in it's history. As a result $41,206.00 from this beautiful cooperative effort was donated to the Delaware Division of Revenue and IRS. The support was substantial. It was necessary and saving. The combined cooperative efforts will always be counted and recognized as an tremendous expression of love, This level of support is indicative of the level of support a school of Faith's type needs on a regular basis. 

Our school also provide services to community schools, churches, and organizations. This has been done through opportunities for practicum experiences for college students who later entered the profession of teaching. The school has accepted requests for such arrangements informally with various professors at Delaware State University and less frequently from Wesley College and the University of Delaware over the years. Faith students are often used in program participant and leadership roles in their respective churches in various kinds of services. Faith students perform a minimum of three programs for parents and the public, often in local churches or public auditoriums, that are well received and often inspire children and youth leaders to train their children similarly. 

    In it’s association with churches, organizations, and persons, the school will not knowingly participate or allow participation with persons, churches, or organizations that are known to be discriminatory in their policies and operations against minorities or anyone on the basis of race, national origin, skin color, ethnicity, or other discriminatory standard.

    Faith Elementary and Middle School, Inc. is proud to be a school of the community; and the school is equally proud to be blessed with the participation, support, prayers, and fellowship of all people within the context of the school’s statements of faith, philosophy, mission, objectives, and interest in providing challenging academic and character training to boys and girls. The school has been comparatively poor during  it’s existence. Understandingly, this fact has reduced it’s appeal to some parents, some individuals seeking employment, and to some other individuals and entities who might otherwise be serious supporters or financial sponsors. That admission having been made, we consider it more important to hasten to add that the faith, prayers, tangible support and participation of those parents, families, churches, and others who have demonstrated consistent interest and support for the school over the years, not withstanding, the school's financial, in appreciation for the fact that the school exists and is doing a credible job in helping community children and families is the human part of the equation that keeps faith open. 

     School leaders and staff have consistently been willing to offer services to students registered at great personal sacrifice in their  considerable commitment to help as many students as possible. The school plans to systematically solicit funds from foundations, corporations, churches, businesses, and individuals for operational budget, debt reduction, capital improvements, and curriculum changes, all geared to attract more diversified participation on all levels of school life.

    Yes, Faith is different; but the difference is a very good difference. The school intends to continue to maintain it's independence, but increase it's efforts in affiliation with individuals and other organizations to enhance and support it's offerings to more community students and families who can benefit from it's unique offerings and structure.
