Who We Are

Bringing the Bible Into the School Day

Did you know it is legal for public school students to study the Bible during the school day? Kershaw County School Ministries (KCSM) is a local chapter of School Ministries, Inc. — a national nonprofit that equips communities to do exactly that through a program called Released Time Bible Education.

We serve students at Camden Middle School, North Camden Middle School, and all Kershaw County middle schools — Monday–Friday, during the school day, off campus, with full parental permission and zero taxpayer dollars.

Our Story Meet Our Team

How It Works

Released Time Bible Education is simple, legal, and life-changing.

🏫

Off School Grounds

Bible classes take place at a location off school property — fully separate from the public school building and resources.

✅

Voluntary & Parent-Approved

Attendance is completely voluntary. Parents give written permission for their child to participate — no pressure, ever.

💛

Privately Funded

No taxpayer dollars are used. KCSM is supported entirely by generous churches, individuals, and community organizations like you.
