By the grace of God and your generosity, we officially closed on the purchase of our new building on December 28th, 2023. This is an historic day in the life of our school, and we are so grateful for God’s faithfulness throughout this journey. This is a moment worthy of celebration!

We can also say your faith-filled giving and pledges over recent weeks have allowed us to engage a general contractor, putting us in a position to start construction as quickly as possible once we receive our permits. Well done!

But the journey is not over. We still need to receive our construction permits from the city of Issaquah, and we prayerfully plan to raise another $4 million as soon as possible.

So here’s how you can participate today:

• Please consider making a donation. We still need to raise additional funds to complete renovations, and purchase furniture and equipment. Donations (as opposed to loans) not only allow us to move quickly, but they also allow the school to avoid additional borrowing, putting the school in an exponentially healthier financial position for the long term. To make a donation, please see the instructions below.

• Please consider making a pledge. Even if you are unable to make a donation at this time, pledges today for gifts that will be given some time over the next 1-3 years are very helpful for our planning purposes as we navigate funding options. To make a pledge, please simply send an email to joyfulgenerations@summitclassical.org.

• Please consider making a Semble investment. Semble investments are still an option, and can help us to avoid or replace more expensive financing options. Please consider lending your retirement funds or cash to the school for 5 years and receive up to 4% interest along the way. CLICK HERE to learn more or begin the process.

• Please pray for the building permit. Our permit application is on track and we have received our first round of feedback. But there are still significant financial implications of the ultimate outcome. Please pray for favorable decisions from the city, and that we would receive our permit quickly enough to finish construction in time for the 2024-25 school year.

• Please pray for our partnerships. We are SO pleased that this opportunity has included providing a new home for a thriving, Bible-preaching, mission-minded local church in Summit Life Church. We are also tremendously grateful for their leadership team’s and their community’s faithful stewardship and generosity in this process. Please pray for both the school and the church, and their respective leadership teams, so that we would all collectively honor the Lord with our unity and zeal for His mission to make disciples, now and for years to come.
