It's not very good. The school had a bullying problem. I know people who had kids there and they…read moresaid that at lunch the food had mold and the staff tried to cover it up with a smiley face but the students were able to read it. The staff would also give high fives to the students. The school is very poorly made and crappy. They treat their students like prisoners and don't even let them use the restroom. And almost half of the kids get expelled. Some kids get mentally disturbed. but yeah if you want to put your kids in the school for 8th grade then that would be great because they need more 8th graders next year for class of 2030.

I love this school. My two elementary aged children attend here and have since 2015. The staff…read moretakes a genuine and true interest in their education and wellbeing. My kids have thrived here each year. One thing I particularly enjoy is the "buddy" system where they pair up a young child in the 1st grade with an older student in 8th grade for different events during the year. The students form a bond with each other. It is an early mentor/mentee relationship that works very well. I won't call out particular classes or teachers for being great because I would certainly miss someone. But, the school feels like family to us. I am writing this review during the COVID-19 quarantine. We've been e-learning for 10 weeks now. While it is not ideal, the school has not stopped being amazing. The teachers and staff have done such much in keeping in contact and ensuring the students are really understanding what they need to know to be ready to move on. A+ job St Luke!

My family moved here in 2020. I brought a junior high student and a high school student to BCS…read more They were quickly welcomed and felt part of the family. They are involved in sports, drama, etc. and love the activities and their classes. Bethesda is solidly Christian, but it has an open enrollment (meaning, you don't have to profess Christianity to enroll). Each student does, however, have to abide by a code of conduct, which keeps a morality on campus that you will not find elsewhere. The staff and administration love the students and love God. They are there for the right reasons. There are many Christian schools out there, but this one has stayed true to God's Word. We could not be happier here.

I still love most of the teachers at Bethesda but that horrible "steering committee" has to change!

Our experience at Heritage Christian School has been overwhelmingly positive. Like any school, it's…read morenot perfect, and you won't agree with every decision, but what stands out is the environment they've created for students to truly grow. The smaller class sizes have made a huge difference for our children. Their teachers genuinely see them for who they are, not just academically but as individuals. There's a strong balance of accountability and encouragement. Students are challenged to do their best while also being supported and known. What sets this community apart is the faith-centered foundation. During a major life event for our family, our kids weren't just supported, they were surrounded by a community that consistently prayed over them and walked alongside us in a very real way. That kind of care goes beyond the classroom. What matters most to us is that my kids are thriving. They feel valued, they're growing in confidence, and they're being poured into by teachers who care deeply. That kind of environment is hard to find, and we're grateful to be part of it.

I transferred to Heritage Christian after my junior year of high school at Brebeuf Jesuit, and it…read morewas the worst mistake I could have made. My first week there was a "random" drug test and Phil Nikirk (the high school principle at the time) watched as me and another student took a piss sample in the restroom. I'd say it took 5 minutes for me to actually go, it felt like this guy was breathing down my neck. Not only did I feel violated, the harassment continued throughout the year from all high school teachers. I'd get weird looks, and felt as though they wanted to burn me at the stake. This was partly because the school had driven me to a manic episode that pretty much ruined my senior year. Although I had to take a leap year, I still managed to play lacrosse at the same college I had committed to. The high school staff managed to create two semesters of suffering, at an apparently "good-willed" school. Lets not forget the prison-like exterior, it gives me the chills. Funny thing is that this school managed to convert me to a huge believer in faith when I left for college. You would be saving yourself lots of money by not coming to this school! As well as your child's sanity!

We really like the service - the worship music blends contemporary songs with older hymns and it feels very genuine. Some churches seem to put on a performance and while there is a band, you don't feel like you're at a rock concert.

We are looking forward to getting more involved ad we make this our church home.

As I've shared from several recent church experiences, I'm currently in the process of visiting…read moreCentral Indiana faith communities after having spent several years in a historic peace denomination yet feeling like certain aspects of my life, especially around my disability, were being neglected. The Creek is located not far from Franklin Central High School on the Southeast Side of Indy. While I'm not quite sure if it qualifies as a "mega-church," it's certainly larger than the usual churches that I attend and I'll confess to having been intimidated as I drove up to its rather enormous campus. I'd been referred to The Creek by friends who knew I desired a faith community where my disability would be accepted. As an aging adult with spina bifida, I've largely outlived most of my supports and I've been longing for a wider circle. The Creek has a strong ministry to persons with disabilities, though my experience is that it largely focuses on individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities - both adults and children. I contacted the Special Needs Director (for the record, I hate the phrase "special needs"). I wanted to get a feel for attitudes. She was quite friendly and responded twice to my inquiries and encouraged me to attend their 4:30pm class on Sundays. I intended to do that after our last e-mail exchange, but I ended up ill that Sunday and committed the next couple Sundays. So, it took me about a month to follow through. They offer high-tech, contemporary worship services only with programs for children, youth and those with disabilities among other populations. I shared with the director that I desired a community where I could both "be" disabled and share my gifts. As I get older, my body is more difficult to manage and I welcome the vulnerability that comes with people knowing who I am physically and emotionally on a more vulnerable level. However, many of the ways in which I'm gifted also still long to be expressed. The Creek has a form, kind of like an application, filled out on everyone it serves in their disability ministry to ensure an understanding of physical needs, behavioral supports, etc. I was impressed that it acknowledged physical disabilities. It's sometimes a little more difficult to serve those whose needs may be physical up to and including restroom needs. The Creek seems to have a large staff with an abundance of volunteers including both men and women, young and old including students from nearby University of Indianapolis. The parking lot is huge, there's quite a bit of accessible parking - it's not particularly well marked but it's present. The church is multi-level, but elevators are present. I wasn't sure where to find the disability ministry, called Access, but tried to enter through an outer door labeled "Access." It was locked. I'm assuming it's the volunteer entrance and they know how to, well, access it. I got a little frustrated, but decided I would just experience the worship anyway. If I like the worship, I'll pursue the disability ministry. Ironically, on my way out I think I figured it out. It's not real obvious which entrance to use, but I followed the crowds and figured it out. They have Information booths around and volunteers answer questions. I received a gift as a first-time visitor (a coffee mug, note pad, pen). I was pointed to the large sanctuary. It's auditorium style. The worship style is definitely contemporary. I've got no issues with contemporary worship - in fact, I'd dare say I prefer it. As a Sunday afternoon service, however, it felt very dry. The worship leader was trying hard to energize parishioners, but the rock n' rollish music kind of felt like that one-hit wonder band desperately trying for a second hit. Unfortunately, when that happens it often feels more like performance than worship. The pastor, Dr. Gary Johnson, started a new series largely centered around the Bible. He's their long-time pastor, but due to retire in April 2019. I liked his speaking style, though I found the message itself surprisingly negative and lacking in inspiration. The preaching is consistently Bible based; the theology stresses inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible and much of today's centered around society's increasing rejection of that. I found people friendly and helpful including one man who offered, and I accepted, to bring me communion where I was sitting toward the back. The Creek is a pretty good drive for me and I don't consider it likely that it's a place I would call home nor will I likely return to experience the disability ministry. However, for those seeking a large church, contemporary worship with a theology that stresses the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, The Creek has much to offer and certainly will embrace those in your family with disabilities. Be aware that the auditorium is at a slant; if you're on wheels, you may wheel ahead if your brakes aren't in good order.
