OUR MISSION

To teach God's word to our local public school students through the Released Time Bible education ministry, introducing them to the person of Jesus Christ and sound biblical truth.

ENGAGING LOSTNESS

On average 70% of Released Time students do not attend a church.

WHAT DO WE TEACH

We teach a curriculum called Firm Foundations – Creation to Christ by New Tribe Ministries. It walks the student through the Bible verse by verse, from Genesis to the resurrection of Jesus. Our goal is to teach students to apply biblical principles to everyday life.

Since 2001, Pickens County Released Time programs were managed by CLC of the Upstate along with Anderson and Oconee counties, due to new ministry opportunities in Anderson District two, it was decided that Pickens County step out on their own, and in August 2014 we become Pickens County Christian Learning Centers, Inc. (PCCLC). PCCLC will now facilitate the current four middle school programs in Pickens County.
