About MACS

OUR PURPOSE

The Michigan Association of Christian Schools exists to promote, defend and assist Christian education and its institutions in the state of Michigan.

MEMBERSHIP

Serving God in our Christian School ministries is most certainly an investment, not just for a season, but for eternity. The time and money spent on Christian Education is so worth it, as we realize we are teaching and training the next generation of Christian leaders.

The degree of depraviltiy today is high and because of that we need to lift our Christian Education banner higher. This is not the time to go at it alone. Your financial and prayerful support of the Michigan Association of Christian Schools allows us to continue to be that help.

We are actively standing for Christian values and our voice is being heard in Lansing and Washington D.C. Thank you for your support. Download the printable applications below.

The Congressional Record September 25, 2002 entered, in part, records these words:

“Tim spends much time in Washington D.C. and Lansing meeting with elected officials and has earned respect and garnered influence on both sides of the political aisle. Lawmakers have come to trust Tim and rely on his knowledge of the issues and his well-informed advocacy on a variety of issues. He truly has earned the respect and the influence he has in the halls of Congress and in the Michigan Legislature.”

Tim and his wife Sue live in Owosso, Michigan. He attends Immanuel Baptist Church in Corunna, Michigan. He earned a MM from Northland Baptist Bible College and in 2010 he received a D. Litt from Maranatha Baptist Bible College

Mike Rierson – Athletic Director

As athletic director, I strongly believe that many of life’s most important lessons and habits can be learned through sports. These lessons include work ethic, dependability, self-motivation, and self-discipline.

We must prepare students to be successful in every aspect of their lives after school. Participation in sports will aid in this development.

In my 20+ years of coaching, and as a MACS alumnus, I have strived to push myself and the student-athletes in this direction.

I am excited to have been given this opportunity as MACS Athletic Director and am looking forward to a bright future.
