Important Takeaways:

• “After much prayer and discussion with our elders, and pastoral leadership, we will be launching Cornerstone Christian Academy,” said Senior Pastor Gary Hamrick.
• Loudoun County has been the subject of so much controversy, that Pastor Gary Hamrick knew there would be a demand locally. What he didn’t expect is to hear from parents in at least 27 states eager for their children to attend. 
• Cornerstone has been inundated with inquiries, and not just from parents. Teachers want out of public schools too.
• The overwhelming response mirrors what appears to be a national trend. Nearly two million students left public schools between 2020 and 2021 with large numbers now enrolled in Christian education. 
• Before the pandemic, many Christian schools struggled with low enrollment. Now, there are waiting lists. 
• E. Ray Moore, founder of the conservative Christian Education Initiative calls it a “Once in a 100-year moment.” 
• “It’s definitely part of revival that I hope sweeps across this nation in different ways. Not just in terms of schools and education, but what is happening in our churches, the sleeping giant has been awakened and parents begin to realize when their kids’ future is at stake,” said Hamrick.
