Having worked in Hamilton County Schools for years, Kali O’Neal loved her work and her students, but she always felt something was missing.
“I guess it was the ability to be able to freely share my faith with students and to really pour into these children,” she said in an interview with the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
O’Neal, who attends Red Bank Baptist Church with her family, also found herself looking for a school for her 4-year-old son.
“In years past, the church used to home a preschool and kindergarten class,” O’Neal said. “In fact, we have members here that are now grandparents that attended their kindergarten year right here at the church.”
