Virginia Christian School Controversy
Parents at Christ Chapel Academy in Prince William County, VA, have launched an online petition demanding the resignation of Pastor Bob Griffith, the lead pastor of the partner church, over allegations that he is improperly using school tuition funds to support church activities
🔍 Key Details:
Christ Chapel Academy serves approx. 450 K–12 students, charging about $12,000 per year in tuition. Families have until July 22 to withdraw without penalty
Petitioners claim up to 200+ signatures, arguing that tuition increases are meant to bail out the church, which has reportedly been running in the red under Griffith’s leadership, losing around 30% of its congregation over the past four years
Parents say the pastor is redirecting tuition dollars originally intended for schooling toward funding church operations
🏛️ Broader Context
This dispute reflects larger issues around transparency and financial accountability in faith-based private schools.
It touches on legal questions about financial responsibility, corporate governance, and church oversight—especially when school tuition supports church budgets.
💡 What to Watch
Will the Assemblies of God or school board intervene?
Will parents actually withdraw and potentially form an independent alternative school?
How might this situation affect financial oversight standards for church-run schools?
