Mission statement
Christian Heritage School exists to partner with parents and churches in fulfilling their God-given responsibilities to teach children that "In (Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3, KJV) and to provide its students with an education of spiritual and academic excellence with which to serve God.
Statement of faith
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Advocate. John 1:1; Luke 2:35; I Corinthians 15:3,4
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service. John 15:26; John 16:8
We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. Genesis 1:27; Romans 5:12
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds of justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become believers. John 3:3; John 1:12; John 3:16
We believe that water baptism for the believer and the Lord's Supper for the believer (Communion) are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. Matthew 28:19; I Corinthians 11:23-26
We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been born anew by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the Head. I Corinthians 12:12-14
We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that this "blessed hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer. I Thessalonians 4:13-18
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment. I Corinthians 15:51-54

History
Christian Heritage School was founded in 1976 by Pastor Paul and Mrs. June Anderson, together with a small committee of people who had been meeting regularly and praying about the possibility of quality Christian education in the Bridgeport area. Through the generosity and vision of the Anderson Family, facilitated by the Heritage Foundation, Inc., building plans were drawn and ground was broken on December 18, 1976.
Christian Heritage opened its doors to its first 53 students, grades K-6, on September 6, 1977, and moved into its new facility in January 1978. By 1981-82 the school had grown to over 275 students, grades K-10. A six classroom and science lab addition was completed in February 1982 to enable CHS to add grades 11 and 12. Two portable classrooms were added in September 1982 and opened in September 1983. A new addition, which included two classrooms and a large cafeteria, opened in September 1996. In 1999, a capital campaign was launched to raise funds for a new three-story wing, which included numerous classrooms and offices. This section of the building, which opened in stages, was completed in 2003. In December of 2006, CHS purchased The Blue House, which was renamed in honor of Mrs. Anderson's parents as The Aldeen House. This building contains the Finance, Human Resources and Technology offices, and a faculty apartment. After years of praying for land adjacent to the CHS campus, CHS purchased an adjacent property at 585 White Plains Road on April 1, 2008, as part of the Foundation for the Future campaign. CHS took occupancy of the home, using it for faculty housing, and renamed the building the Kingsmen House. In 2015, CHS purchased the 615 White Plains Rd. property which included an 18th century antique house adjacent to the south end of campus and named this house Pulpit Rock House. This addition provided increased parking and CHS staff residence capacity. In the fall of 2017, CHS was excited to build the new Student Life Center, which is attached to The Barn. This center provided office space and classroom space in addition to a CHS Alumni center. In 2018 and 2019, CHS acquired nearly 5 acres contiguous to the north end of campus and was named our Riverside Campus. This beautiful property connects directly to the Pequonnock River Valley Greenway and walking trail. Included in this acquisition was a house and storage facility which was improved to provide a 2,000 sq foot covered deck. In May of 2021, the Kingsmen Barnyard was built and filled with our own collection of farm animals.
At present, CHS has approximately 415 enrolled students, representing over 40 communities and approximately 90 churches. Christian Heritage School graduated its first senior class in June 1984 and currently has over 1200 graduates from 39 graduating classes impacting the world for Christ.
CHS is a non-profit corporation governed by an independent Board of Trustees with no legal ties to any church or other specific organization.
