The Story Behind West Campus
THE NEED
We thank God for the tremendous growth we have seen at Mount Calvary Christian School, knowing He is at work. MCCS has experienced steady growth, and now has more than 670 students enrolled, along with 75 faculty and staff members. For the 2022-2023 school year, we welcomed 125 new students and 64 new families.
This need for additional space prompted the leadership of Mount Calvary to research and pray about expanding our campus. In April 2022, the elders unanimously agreed to pursue the possibility of purchasing Mill Road Elementary School here in Elizabethtown.
Our Response
On Wednesday, November 9, 2022, Mount Calvary purchased Mill Road Elementary at auction and were able to do so within the church-approved budget constraints. We praise God for His faithful provision throughout the history of Mount Calvary Church and continue to trust Him to provide the funds we need for the Mill Road project.
The work has just begun! There is fundraising to do, and there are improvements that need to be completed at Mill Road before opening. However, due to the near readiness of the building and the proximity to our campus, we will be able to accommodate students for the 2023-2024 school year.
An Invitation
We are inviting individuals and businesses to pledge and provide support for this project. We will also include special projects and pursue grant funding to reach our goal of $3.5 million.
Having committed partners is vital as we move forward with this purchase and look forward to beginning building improvements at West Campus.
