“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)
We want more…more churches in deeper relationships with their local schools. We have seen the power of partnership and how God uses that to change students, families and communities. You don’t have to walk the road alone, we will help you engage with your school in a way that can lead to true transformation. Let us help you!
Schools want help.
Churches can respond.
37 Schools and counting…..
But we won’t be satisfied until every school in the United States has a church partnering with them in a relational way that can lead to true transformation.
What our churches and schools are saying
“The Imagine Initiative has been a blessing to Tice Elementary School! I’m sure that Ms. Rhonda Dahlin can share that she made me cry more than once this school year. As a Title 1, Turn Around School leader, with 100% of students facing poverty and one with no PTA organization, the Imagine Initiative support has left me speechless. The generosity and kindness have been overwhelming. When the team offered to provide a delicious breakfast for the staff during pre-school days, I cried because it was something that I could not do alone. Not only did they provide a delicious breakfast, but they also decorated to match our school theme and took pictures of the staff “walking the red carpet”. Throughout the year, Ms. Rhonda has shown up to the school holding treats and surprises that we have used to provide incentives to both staff and students. The continued generosity and support have directly impacted the school. This year, our school average daily attendance has risen to 95-96% and we have retained our teaching staff. I am truly grateful for the generous support of the Imagine Initiative. The impact of this organization is valued and appreciated more than I can express! Thank you!” - Katie Reimenshneider, Principal, Tice Elementary
“My name is Chelsea, I am a school social worker with Lee County Schools, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for The Imagine Initiative. They connected my elementary school with a local church who provides the school with significant support and meals for around 65 children every Friday. The impact it has on these children is unimaginable. I have had multiple children come to my office with pure excitement showing me the food they get to take home. It has been a blessing to be a part of a community that makes such a strong impact on these students and their families.” - Chelsea Naples, Social Worker, Allen Park Elementary
“Our partnership with Imagine Initiative happened at just the perfect time. Grace4Kids had hit a small wall in our school partnership with Orange River Elementary. The G4K team was stuck. Rhonda helped us to expand our vision, inspiring us to move in a forward direction. A big transformation happened as a result. Imagine Initiative, leading through Christ, has proven to be the partnership we needed. We are succeeding in big ways. Thank you Rhonda & team!” - Jackie Spadt, Grace Church, Shores Campus
