Brief History
Promiseland Christian Preschool has been ministering to families in the Fountain Hills and Scottsdale area since September 2000. The school's purpose has been simple;
to provide children and their families with a Christ-centered, loving environment where they can grow spiritually, physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally and creatively.
Promiseland was originally founded by Pastor Steve Gilbertson and Carri Schneider of Fountain Hills Community Church. Promiseland opened its doors on September 11, 2000 with
seven children enrolled. Within a couple of months, a class for two and young three year olds was added and attendance grew to 20 children.
Each year after that, Promiseland continued to expand, adding classes and staff, and we began to see what can happen when you trust God and teach children about Jesus.
Over the years under the leadership of Pastor Jim Fitz, Promiseland served hundreds of families in Fountain Hills. In November 2009, the church made the difficult decision
to close it's doors but were determined to see that Promiseland Preschool would go on to serve and thrive.
Within a few days of learning Promiseland needed a new home,
Christ's Church of Fountain Hills approached Promiseland about moving and becoming a ministry of Christ's Church.
This was brought together because Christ's Church and Promiseland have always had a shared vision and strong calling to serve families.
After several months of researching and preparation, a plan was presented to the Board of Elders and approved. Promiseland Christian Preschool was now a permanent ministry of Christ's Church
of Fountain Hills.
After nearly $30,000 in renovations to their new location, on August 16, 2010, the preschool opened its doors in their new location. The future of Promiseland and the mission we
have been called to do has never been brighter.
We look forward to the opportunity to serve your child and family for many years to come!
