 PHASE 1: CLASSROOMS

Building Tomorrow—for this life & eternity

We thank God and joyfully celebrate that His people have responded generously to the Building Tomorrow campaign! By God's grace, $2 million in gifts and pledges have been received over the last 15 months, allowing ALA to move forward with building five new classrooms — completely debt-free! This incredible milestone reflects the faith and commitment of our ALA family and friends who continue to support Christian education and the mission of preparing students for life and eternity. To God be the glory! 

Planning for Phase 2 is already underway, and we're excited to share more soon about how you can be a part of the next steps.
