How it all started...
1972 - The Vision
In 1972, Pastor Allen Usher gave his life to Jesus Christ. The more he studied the Bible, the more he realized the call that was on his life to become a pastor. After marrying his wife, Glenda, together they started Maranatha Missions in Cheraw.
In 1977, they had their first child and her educational future was on their minds. Pastor Allen and Glenda shared their vision of starting a Christian school with their congregation. Many of the congregation caught the vision and the journey began.

Expanding the vision...
With the growth of the school over the next few years, it was necessary to buy land and build to be able to accommodate the students. In January 1984 in the freezing cold, the men and women who believed in the ministry of the church and school set out to do the impossible. The school was finished by the end of August and there were one hundred students in attendance on the first day of school.
1994 - Our First Graduating Class
In 1994, Jesus Is Lord Christian School graduated its first senior class of two young men and continues to prepare and educate students in a safe, Christian environment where Jesus is truly Lord.
