We invite you to step into the vibrant world of CCLS, where every classroom and hallway buzzes with excitement, building a tight-knit community fueled by the love of learning and God's boundless grace. Here, we witness incredible transformations unfold before our eyes, as young hearts and minds are nurtured in the embrace of Christ's love. Our growing school with over 177 students enrolled this year stands as a beacon of hope, a testament to unwavering faith, and the power of collective mission. Together, we can continue this extraordinary journey, extending the love of Christ to children and families every single day.
Recently, we shared our Room to Grow letter outlining our vision to expand Christ Community Lutheran School (CCLS) and welcome more children into an environment where their faith can flourish.
In case you missed it, we have fantastic news to share—a generous donor has provided a $750,000 matching gift opportunity! Praise God! Every dollar given will be doubled up to this amount, and we are prayerfully working to exceed the match by February 1, 2025.
Where We Stand Today
WOW! Let’s Maximize the Match!
Incredible news, CCLS family! Thanks to your amazing generosity, our donor has already matched $323,000, bringing us to an impressive $779,000 raised so far!
But we’re not stopping there. Our generous donor is matching up to $750,000, which means we’re just $294,000 away from unlocking the FULL MATCH and reaching a total of $1.5 MILLION by February 1, 2025!
This is a pivotal moment. Once we hit this milestone, we’ll be ready to break ground on our much-needed expansion, creating space for even more students to grow academically and spiritually.
We need YOUR help to make it happen! Every dollar you give doubles in impact, bringing us closer to opening doors for more children to experience faith-filled education. Let’s do this—together!
