Released Time

Christian education during school hours!

How it works

  • According to PA law, parents/guardians have the right take to excuse their child from 1 hour of school each week for religious education. This is called released time.

  • Kids Quest offers Christian Education, or Bible classes. This will be a time for students to open the Word of God and learn the Truth presented in God’s Word.

  • This program is offered to 3rd-6th graders in the Perry and Hartman schools of Ellwood City Area School District. Cyber and homeschool students are also welcome.

  • Bible classes are held every other Thursday, from 1-2 PM. Classes for Perry students are held at the First Church of God, on Mercer Road in Ellwood City. Classes for Hartman students are held at the Calvin Presbyterian Church on Crescent Ave.

  • Our program provides transportation to and from our teaching locations. Perry students are transported by the school bus, and Hartman students walk with adult volunteers. We are hoping to provide vehicles on bad weather days for Hartman students this year.

  • Thanks to generous donations, we are able to offer this service free! Just fill out a registration, submit it to the school and your student is signed up!

  • Register your student by printing the form below and submitting it to the school office. It is also helpful if you send us a scan or picture of your completed registration form so that we can ensure your student is included ASAP. Registration is open throughout the year.
