One page, every policy, nothing buried in a filing cabinet.
Faithful Five Inc. is an Idaho nonprofit corporation carrying the gospel through two ministries: Jesus People Coffee House, our homeless outreach in Spokane, and River Tech School, our performing arts and technology school for grades 1–12 in Post Falls.
The policies that shape how those ministries operate belong to the people they serve as much as to the people who run them, so we publish them here. Each policy appears in full, in the wording that governs. Where a policy carries a public notice, that notice is reproduced word for word and is never edited or summarised.

How policies are made
Written once, approved openly, reviewed on a clock.
Policy at Faithful Five is not improvised. Each policy is drafted, reviewed, and approved by the authority named in the policy itself, and each one carries a responsible officer who has to make it true in practice rather than merely on paper.
Who approves what
Why we publish them
A policy that the people it affects cannot read is not a policy, it is a private preference. Publishing the full text means anyone can hold Faithful Five to its own words, and it means we have to mean them. That is the point of this page.
Raising a concern
Concerns about a policy, or about how a policy has been applied, go to the officer responsible for it. Where a concern involves that officer, it goes to the Board Chair of Faithful Five Inc. Nobody is retaliated against for raising one. Write to us through the contact page and it will be routed to the right person.
1.1 Nondiscrimination Policy
Published verbatim, continuously, on every domain the school operates.
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students
River Tech School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
River Tech School is a ministry of Faithful Five Inc., an Idaho nonprofit corporation.
Scope
This policy covers every grade and program operated under the River Tech School name, full-time and part-time. It governs every decision about admission, tuition and financial assistance, placement, discipline, and access to activities. River Tech School is a program of Faithful Five Inc. and is not a separate legal entity, so acts of the school are acts of Faithful Five Inc.
Religious mission and admissions
River Tech School is a ministry of Faithful Five Inc., a Christian church. Instruction, conduct standards, and community life at the school are shaped by the Statement of Faith of Faithful Five Inc., and families are asked to understand and support that commitment as a condition of enrollment.
The school applies its religious standards to every applicant alike, and applies them without regard to race, color, or national and ethnic origin. Those standards are published before they are applied, and membership in the church is open to all on the same basis.
Financial assistance
Financial assistance is awarded under published criteria on a racially nondiscriminatory basis. The school does not accept or administer any gift, scholarship, or fund restricted by race, color, or national or ethnic origin.
