Living Proof

As we prepared the campus for our returning students this summer, the core strength of our community was on full display. We are immensely grateful for three powerful examples of partnership that transformed key areas of our school, driven by the dedication of volunteers and generous local support.

1. A New Foundation: Volunteers Transform the Music Room

If you step inside the gym and head upstairs to the music room (which many of the alumni refer to as the old band room), then you will find a rejuvenated space dedicated to worship and performing arts. A group of our incredible volunteers generously gave their time and skilled labor to completely replace the flooring of our music room. What was once an overlooked utility area is now a clean, professional-looking environment. We cannot wait for our music and worship arts students to utilize this newly renovated space this fall!

This project is a direct example of what makes our school special: people seeing a need and joyfully combining their time and talent to meet it. Thank you to the volunteers who laid this new foundation—not just for the flooring, but for the countless hours of praise and rehearsal that will echo there.

There is an additional need to fully complete this renovation project — a new AC window unit. If this is something you would be interested in supporting, simply email jmedley@alamance.org! 

2. Stewardship & Play: Refreshing the Playground

We also extend a huge thank you to iScapes, Inc. for the generous donation, delivery, and distribution of fresh mulch for our primary playground. On the day of delivery, one of our Pre-K students went home and said the following to their mom: "Praise the Lord, we got new mulch." It is challenging to us as adults when our youngest students immediately praise God for a gift, yet we are slow to do so!

Safety and accessibility are always our top priorities for our youngest students. This substantial refresh not only beautifies the space but, more importantly, enhances the critical safety layer beneath our playground equipment. It ensures that recesses are fun, clean, and secure. Stewardship like this directly impacts our students' daily experience, reminding us that we are all partners in providing an exceptional environment for them to learn and grow.

3. Church Volunteers Help with Landscaping

On a Friday night and Saturday morning, members from The Church of the Vine came to campus and helped with some landscaping needs. We have a special relationship with this local congregation as they meet in the gym on Sunday mornings as they are seeking direction from the Lord for a new space.

As you can see from the photos, they worked hard to beautify the campus and, more importantly, took time to move through our four-station Prayer Walk.  Physical labor is a blessing to the school; however, the spiritual labor in prayer means even more!

This summer, our campus has been blessed not only with physical upgrades but, more profoundly, with a reminder of the amazing community that supports us. We are truly better together!
