The Praise & Celebration Banquet is Berean Academy's main fundraiser for our Family Education Grant (FEG) program. The banquet annually brings approximately 600 guests ranging from alumni to grandparents and current parents - all interested in reaching the same goal: to make Christian education affordable so that our children may grow as scholars, disciples, and citizens in Christ.
The FEG is a donation-funded program that provides tuition assistance based on financial need. Families who apply can qualify to receive a grant of up to 55% of tuition. Our Multiple Student Discount is also funded through FEG. This means that all families who have more than one student attending Berean benefit from the FEG!
The P&C Banquet requires many volunteers, including parents, staff, and students, to create a beautiful evening. You will enjoy a meal provided by our kitchen staff and served by many of our students. Our Honor Band and Choir will present numbers for you to catch a glimpse of our fine arts. You will hear remarks from the Head of School, Dr. Tad Nuce, testimony from Richard Flora, and a captivating speech provided by our Keynote Speaker, Mr. Jeff Keaton, Renewanation Founder, President & CEO. A successful pastor, church and school planter, and ministry entrepreneur, Jeff Keaton has spent his adult life believing that through Christ, anything is possible.
As the founder and CEO of Renewanation and iLumenEd Academy, Renewanation’s virtual school, Jeff now works across the United States and Canada to help awaken the church to the great need to give every child a biblical worldview. Jeff is the author of “The Life of Radical Faith.”
He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Michele, for 35 years, has two married daughters, Julianna and Heidi, and two grandsons, Marshall and Henry, and a granddaughter, Nora Ruth.
The evening will close with prayer and the singing of the Doxology, which gives a powerful ending to the evening. We look forward to seeing you soon. Please RSVP by clicking the link below.
