Our Story

Have Faith in Education was founded with a simple belief: public schools thrive when supported by the full strength of their communities. Co-founders Dr. Kent Scribner and Rev. Charles Foster Johnson envisioned a movement where faith leaders and educators join forces to create lasting change for students and families. Today, we’re making that vision a reality, one partnership at a time.

Why it Matters

Public schools are the heart of our communities, but their challenges are too great to face alone. Faith-based organizations are uniquely positioned to provide resources, mentorship, and support for schools. By partnering together, we can ensure every child receives the education—and community—they deserve.
