We are planning to build!

Overview:
Here at EMCA, we are excited to announce that we are in the beginning stages of building a new school for our students. For many years we have recognized the need for larger facilities for our students and school staff. Over these past few years, our current school has been blessed with significant growth which has resulted in the need for more space becoming even more urgent.
History:
Several years ago, a retired farmer from our church generously donated part of his farmland to our church for the purpose of building a new school. Due to permits and various regulations required, this donation was not formally completed until late 2017. With those regulatory "hurdles" cleared, we are now free to begin to share with you our plans for a new school.
Current Plans:
We currently envision a school building for about 75 students, set on a plot of land that is almost 6 acres. As the thermometer on the right shows, with very little promotion or advertising, over a quarter of a million dollars has already been raised! As a school board, we believe that this is evidence that God has been leading us thus far.
Future:
When will the school be built? Simply put...as the funds come in. Here at EMCA, we are firmly against going into debt, therefore we are trusting God that He will raise the money as the need is presented. Already, God has been blessing us with generous donations that we would never have anticipated. We are taking it by faith each step of the way.
How much will it cost? At this stage, we don't have a final figure to give. There are many variables yet to "iron out". The thermometer pictured above, however, represents that we believe that we have somewhere around one third of the money raised thus far.
How You Can Help:
