RISE UP & BUILD - Phase 2

A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR CALVARY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL



  • Our vision at Calvary Christian School is “students will use their minds and hands to actively serve God with their whole life, wherever His will leads them.”  When this vision intersects with our mission of “Equipping the next generation to impact the world for Christ” and our culture today, the need for this type of graduate is magnified.  


    In February of 2024 we embarked on Phase 1 of our Rise Up & Build Campaign. In 18 months, we were able to raise $5.9 million and build The Sandy Butler Education Wing. We give God all of the glory. When we unveiled Phase 1, we drew attention to additional phases needed soon thereafter. With construction complete on Phase 1 and the funds committed, I have received the necessary committee approvals to begin the fundraising and construction of Phase 2!


    Phase 2 will move forward in two subphases, focusing on 4 needed campus improvements:

    • It will address needed improvements in our science labs by adding a gas run to those rooms and updated lab furniture and equipment.
    • It will address our needs in outdoor athletics giving our athletes in soccer, baseball and softball better facilities, improving their safety and competitiveness in conference and district competition. Did you know that CCS is only 1 of 2 schools with soccer fields not playing on turf? We can change this.
    • It will address the needs for an expanded and improved Preschool Facility. For the 2025-2026 school year CCS had to tell close to 20 families that we did not have room for their child(ren). We want every family who wants a Christian education to be able to get it. Additionally, more space in our preschool will “feed” the growth of CCS as a whole.
    • It will provide an additional 30 parking spaces near both the upper and lower parking lots.
    Athletics: PHASE 2A
    We will demolish and expand the level surface where our current lower fields exist. We will then install 2 full-size turf soccer fields and turf baseball and softball fields. These facilities will get new dugouts, and the entire complex will be lit and fenced-in, which will allow for evening games with later start times. These fields will have a new sound system for announcements and can utilize our improved concessions area added in Phase 1. This phase will also expand our lower parking lot. The cost for the athletic portion of Phase 2A will be  $4.2 million.

    Science Labs & Improvements:
    Various improvements to our current science labs are also included within Phase 2A. We plan to install gas lines to our science labs, purchase furniture with burn resistant surfaces, acquire updated equipment and tools, and improve our chemical storage facilities. The cost for these improvements will be about $200,000.

    Preschool: PHASE 2B
    Phase 2 will almost double the capacity of our current preschool. There will be 7 912 sq. ft. classrooms. Each classroom will be equipped with 2 bathrooms and a storage closet. There will be an office, conference room and an adult restroom. The preschool will be connected to the existing building, but separated by locked doors, improving security and safety for our students and staff. Additionally, the preschool will have their own turf playground. The cost for this addition will be right at $3.2 million, which includes the additional 30 to 40 parking spaces.


    These changes will benefit every student who attends CCS, from our youngest students to our seniors.
