An Update on Our Capital Campaign
CCS began the 2023-24 school year with 393 students, the largest enrollment in our school's history.
As enrollment has steadily climbed over the last several years, with each year breaking the previous year's enrollment record, it becomes increasingly evident that we need more classroom space for these students!
Conestoga Christian School is in the midst of creating a Strategic Plan with the help of a consultant. Throughout this process, several groups have met with our consultant to analyze our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats facing our school. Board members, administration, teachers, students, and parents have met with our consultant. A detailed report will be coming out soon, but one strength shared by multiple groups is the fact that CCS is debt free. CCS owns everything on its campus.
CCS families, alumni, staff, businesses, and foundations has raised over $1.2M for CCS, would you prayerfully consider if God could use you for a little more? Maybe you can give money or other resources to finalize our build - we know we can pray. Pray about what you might be able to give and pray about who you might ask to join us in giving. Maybe you know a business, foundation, or family that is not yet a part of our giving community . . . maybe God has gone before them and prepared them for this final ask. God can do anything, all we need to do is trust in Him.
GOAL | While CCS is debt free, with a growing enrollment CCS needs to expand its campus. CCS has raised over $1.2M to add classroom and parking space to its growing campus. Currently CCS has two classes at every grade from kindergarten to grade three and two classes in grades six and eight. The plan is to add four classrooms so that CCS can add two classes for grades four, five, and seven. The GOAL is to raise an additional $700K to build the additional classrooms and remain debt free. CCS already has purchased additional land for the build, added foundational work, increased parking, and added a new driveway . . . now, new classrooms. In order to stay debt free and build our four classrooms CCS needs an additional $700K.
HOW | How can CCS raise an additional $700K to build four classrooms and remain debt free . . . Matthew 6:33 states, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” And the school’s theme verse in Zechariah 4:6 states, “...not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”
Ways to Partner With Us
Here is the strategy, we need:
-
1 donor to pledge $100,000
-
2 donors to pledge $50,000 each
-
4 donors to pledge $25,000 each
-
5 donors to pledge $20,000 each
-
10 donors to pledge $10,000 each
-
20 donors to pledge $5,000 each
-
100 donors to pledge $1,000 each
Each pledge can be for a one, two, or three year period. If a donor was to take on a three year pledge of $10,000 over those three years, that donor would only have to give $3,333.33 per year or just $278 per month. Do the math for a $1,000 donation over three years - just $28 per month. Please pray as to which donor you might be able to be or what business or foundation you could ask to support CCS.
