We are Moving! It’s A New Day for Eugene Christian School!
The Lord has provided an wonderful opportunity for Eugene Christian School. We have purchased a perfectly suited building near Coburg Road at 2895 Chad Drive. The current property on Amazon Drive is being sold, and the school will relocate in September 2012. There are four reasons for this bold new step:
- The new building will provide easier access to many families so it will help us to grow our enrollment
- The new building will allow us to enhance our programs and curriculum
- The new building will lend itself to developing partnerships and collaborations with other Christian organizations
- The new building is a good investment in our future
The Purchase Price for the building is $3.25 million
Renovation Costs are estimated at $1.75 million
Total cost is $5 million
Now you may make a special donation to the New Eugene Christian School Building Fund online. We do not accept credit cards online at this time, but you may make a donation here from your checking or savings, and even schedule a monthly pledge. To make other donation arrangements such as credit card or by check, contact Laura Purkey at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Our entire Board of Directors has chosen to support this project with 100% of them pledging their own financial support. Also, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our current school property on Amazon Drive will be dedicated for this project.
PROJECT STATUS:
- Phase One Goal by March 2012 is $2.5 million
- ECS property sale is progressing through escrow and indications are we will close in March 2012
- Applications for permits have been submitted to the City. Positive feedback so far
- Architect has indicated that initial Phase One building costs could be significantly less than originally estimated for opening of school in September
- A New Building Committee is being organized to oversee the renovation project
The Capital Campaign is a 3-year fund raising project. We are accepting donations and pledges. If you would like a tour of the new building or to discuss your involvement, contact Laura Purkey at 541-686-9145 or (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water, that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7
