Released Time

Christian education during school hours!

How it works

  • According to PA law, parents/guardians have the right take their student out of school once a week for one hour of 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 programming is offered to 3rd-6th graders in the Perry and Hartman elementary schools. Cyber and homeschooled 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 location. Perry students are transported by the Ellwood City Transit school buses, and Hartman students walk with adult volunteers.

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