Capital Campaign

Achieving Excellence.
Focused on Christ.

The need for quality Christian education has never been greater. Santiam Christian is working to meet the needs of Christian families who desire a safe, spiritually, and academically sound school for their children. This campaign will allow us to provide a Safe, Modern Educational Environment in a new state-of-the-art elementary school.

  • Faith

    “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.”
    Romans 1:6a

    Goal I:

    Empower our students to grow in a Faith founded upon a relationship with Christ and a rich understanding of God’s Word, which transforms their hearts and lives.

  • Knowledge

    Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
    Proverbs 1:7

    Goal II:

    Engage the mind and stretch the imagination of our students towards the discovery of God’s created order to impact their future following His divine plan.

  • Wisdom

    “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace-loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.”
    James 3:17

    Goal III:

    To develop higher level thinking skills and Biblical disciplines that lead to sound, healthy, and transformative decisions.

  • Community

    “How good and pleasant it is when God’s People live together in unity!...For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.”
    Psalm 133

    Goal IV:

    Build a community that strengthens the bond between family, church, and school, which supports, encourages, loves, and stands together for our Faith and what it teaches.

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.
