About us
CERT Christian Education Release Time is a voluntary program in Emmett, Idaho, that allows public school students to attend private, off-campus religious instruction during school hours. A parent or guardian must provide written permission for the student to attend, and the instruction takes place at a separate location, like the Christian Education Release Time Ministry in Emmett. These programs are designed to respect parental rights to direct their children’s religious education without public school entanglement with religion.

Service Overview
The Ministry of CERT is built on seven central tenets of the Christian faith. We are an interdenominational organization, yet we are all members of one body, the body of the church of Christ. These beliefs explain our fidelity to the Savior, our loyalty to His calling, our dedication to the work, our motivation in our unity, and our stand for absolute truth.
Christian Beliefs
We have courses that introduce the students to the foundational truths of the Christian faith. Together, we will explore who God is, how He has revealed Himself through Scripture, and what it means to live as followers of Christ. The goal is to provide a clear and strong understanding of the core beliefs of Christianity, so that students can grow in their faith and be prepared to live it out with confidence.
