Foundation Trustees

Unity’s Education Foundation, a means to help provide quality and affordable faith-infused secondary education, will promote Unity Christian High School in the community and will provide long-range financial support.

To achieve our goal, the Foundation must grow; and to grow, it needs your gifts. Your contribution to the Foundation will continue to give for generations to come. From the earnings of the fund, 5% is gifted to the school annually. A larger Foundation principle means a larger grant or gift to Unity Christian.

For more information on ways to support the Foundation, please contact Troy Billin, Director of Development, at our Development Office via phone: (616) 662-4011 or via email.
