Ever since our founding in 1946, God has used godly men and women to lead Wilmington Christian School and to serve on the Board of Directors.  The WCS Board of Directors, which oversees the school, is made up of elected individuals who have demonstrated a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and a strong commitment to Christian Education and to WCS. The primary focus of the Board is to provide the long term stability and resources necessary for the school to effectively fulfill its mission over time. The Board also nominates new board members to serve the school and oversees and evaluates the work of the Headmaster.  Board members regularly contribute their time, talents, and other resources to advance the mission of WCS
