Building Blocks of a Building Program

CCA is embarking on a massive endeavor to upgrade our athletic facilities to the highest standards by the 2012 - 2013 school year.  This is a strategic initiative that will not only motivate the top local Christian athletes to attend CCA, but also inspire athletes from around the country to visit and share in genuine God-honoring competition.  Premier athletic facilities along with high academic standards will compliment CCA's mission to "Make Disciples" for the next generation.

There are a few building blocks that are foundational to our building program.  The first is a prayerful spirit.  Acts 6:4 says, "we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word."  Philipians 4:2 says, "Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer."  I could list dozens of verses that show the power of prayer and would compel all of us to get on our knees and talk with Almighty God.

The second building block is a loving heart.  The love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5).  Why?  So, we can love others.  The Bible says when Jesus saw the multitudes in need He had compassion on them.  If we build something for our own glory, we labor in vain.  But, if we are more equipped to share Christ with lost souls because of a new Athletic Center or Football Stadium, then it can't be completed soon enough.  God is love, and we are to be imitators of God.

The third building block is willing hands.  Calvary Christian Academy is filled with men and women who live to serve.  Jon Bunch, Harry Mucerino, Lisa Stephenson, Noelle Reis, Kathy Shashaty, Steve Hornsby... the list goes on.  A building program takes many people willing to sacrifice for their children, your children, and the young men and women that will experience a spiritual transformation after visiting the campus at CCA.

Are you in?  Pray...Love...Serve!  Your commitment will have eternal ramifications.
