Faith

James 3:17Goal III:
To develop higher level thinking skills and Biblical disciplines that lead to sound, healthy, and transformative decisions.

Project Updates:
September/October 2024
Demolition began on three buildings on campus, the Laborers Training Building, the Field House, and the Preschool.
Teachers and staff moved out of these buildings at the end of the 2023/2024 school year to prepare for them to be demolished.
Our preschool classes stood by and watched with excitement as the machines removed sections of the building.
