Mrs. Sarah Gillenwater
Mrs. Gillenwater holds a BS in Elementary Education and has seven years of teaching experience in the Christian school classroom. Her lessons overflow with personality, making her passion for her subject infectious. It is her goal for her students to see how science teaches about the character of God.
Mrs. Cynthia Bullock, BS
After graduating from Bob Jones University in 1987, Cynthia Bullock went on to teach history in Virginia, Michigan, Florida, and North Carolina. It was in Michigan that she met her husband, who was the math teacher in the Christian school where they served together for 17 years. They have four children, three girls and a boy. She took ten years off to stay home with them since three of the four are profoundly deaf. When they mainstreamed into a normal classroom, she returned to the classroom. The Lord led her here to BJU Press Distance Learning in 2011.
“I'm so excited about having your child as my student. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to serve you by coming along side and lightening your load.”
Mrs. Beth Cofer, MEd

She desires to use the study of language arts to help students learn to be excellent discerners of truth and to be effective communicators of that truth as they follow the Lord’s leading in their lives.
Mr. Bill Harmon, M. Ed.
