HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Dr. John Walker with Central Christian School said students are in the new classrooms that were finished as part of the school's FORWARD initiative.
"By God's grace, we sought to pursue donors and friends of the school who would help us complete that project," Walker said. "By God's grace, we are there. We have a brand new science lab, a brand new technology lab, we've got basically all of our high school and secondary students consolidated into a wing of the school. It's a huge blessing. It looks really, really nice, really cool. We have a lot of alumni coming back who are quite jealous of the condition of those classrooms. We are beyond blessed at this point in time."
It's amazing to think of how much technology has changed since the rooms were contemplated and how much more the school is able to do with the space they have than might have been the case had there not been a pause in the work.
"Scripture reminds us to wait upon the Lord and that our hope can be in Him," Walker said. "I think we've had faithful men and women who have prayed for this day for over 20 years. That's one thing that I tried to recognize at our ribbon cutting ceremony was the faithful men and women who have been praying for this day for years and years and years. They didn't grow weary of praying for this day to happen. They stayed faithful to pray and ask the Lord for help and by God's grace we are where we are. We've got amazing teachers, we've got amazing students. We've got amazing families and really nice spaces to continue to educate, equip and edify our students to exalt Jesus Christ."
With the new rooms, it will allow the school to expand their mission to additional families.
"We definitely have room to grow," Walker said. "I think we've got space to grow into and the Lord has been kind to continue to provide for the school, whether that's through enrollment or through people who care about the school and want to financially support the school. Certainly, we're seeking more partners along those lines, people who want a Biblical worldview education, parents who want that type of education, as well as friends of the school who want to support that mission."
