GIVING
At River’s Edge Christian Academy, we believe giving is a privilege and an act of faith. Every gift fuels the mission of helping students grow in wisdom, character, and faith. Your generosity moves us forward, providing a Christ-centered education model that transforms lives for eternity.
Giving at RECA isn’t a transaction - it’s an investment in transformation. Together, we’re shaping hearts, strengthening families, and building a legacy of discipleship that will ripple for generations.
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV
Our Philosophy of Giving
What we believe about gifts
We believe that giving is more than generosity — it’s worship.
-
Giving changes lives. While some gifts save lives, ours are devoted to changing them — nurturing young minds and hearts to follow Christ wherever He leads.
-
Giving isn’t just financial. You can also give through prayer for students and staff, volunteering, participating in school events, or sharing your experiences through reviews and word of mouth.
-
We believe giving is a privilege. God invites us to participate in His work by giving back a portion of what already belongs to Him.
-
We seek to build a culture of giving. Every gift, large or small, contributes to a community rooted in faith, generosity, and shared mission.
-
Giving fuels transformation. Your support gives RECA the margin and capacity to impact students’ lives, making our Christ-centered education accessible to more families, allowing us to expand programs, and increase our capacity to serve others.
-
We are committed to stewardship. We recognize that God owns everything, and it is simply our turn to use what He has entrusted to us wisely and faithfully, including both our time and financial resources.
At RECA, every dollar given represents more than financial support — it’s a joyful partnership in God’s work. We give not out of obligation, but out of gratitude for what Christ has done and what He continues to do through the ministry of Christian education.

The Eagle Fund
The Eagle Fund fuels our mission to change lives through Christ-centered education. Your gift directly supports students as they grow to reflect our Portrait of a Graduate—Christ-centered, character-driven, and academically equipped to make an eternal impact.
Specific Projects
You are welcome to designate your gift for a specific project or area of need. At the same time, we encourage gifts without restrictions, as unrestricted contributions give the school leadership the flexibility to use funds where they will have the greatest impact in alignment with RECA’s mission and priorities.
Our Ministry Impact
How your gift fuels our ministry to students, teachers and families
Every gift to RECA, large or small, fuels our mission. Your generosity:
-
Supports students as they grow. Giving them a biblical worldview and instilling character and values. We nurture their spiritual growth and cultivate a Christ-centered community so that students are equipped to make a Gospel impact in the world.
-
Equips teachers and staff. Providing them with resources and professional development to empower them to give excellent instruction and mentorship.
-
Ministers to families and parents. RECA exists to support families, partnering with them to share the Gospel and educating their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
At RECA, giving is more than financial support—it’s a partnership in ministry, shaping hearts, inspiring character, and advancing God’s work in the lives of the next generation.
