Living Faith Christian School (LFCS), established in 1998, is situated in Mmbatho which was the former township area of Mafikeng in the province of North West near the Botswana border.

The school is operated by the Living Faith Church, which believes that Christian education is the key to healing the past and a brighter future. The school is situated on the same property as the church. It serves over 900 students in Kindergarten through Grade 9. Plans are to add more senior grades to complete a full high school offering.Living Faith has a strong academic emphasis and a vibrant music and drama program. It also has an extensive outreach program in the surrounding community called “Hand of Mercy”, which works with the elderly, abandoned children and the needy.

The project was started in February 2011 and comleted in time for the opening of school in January 2012.
