The Technology Education Building and Program Expansion Project
To better serve our students who have an interest in technology and the trades, we have introduced several new programs over the last several years, courses that offer practical, hands-on learning experiences for our students to try things like welding, mechanical technologies, and vehicle maintenance.
Supporting these exciting new programs – and the ones we are planning to add in the years to come – requires dedicated learning spaces. To meet that demand, we are building an additional 10,000 square feet of shops, classrooms and design studios that will transform our students’ learning experience.
The Opportunity
Career & Technical Education Pathways
Career & Technical Education (CTE) Pathways require specialized learning spaces. LCH already has a well-used shop for construction and woodworking. And as we have expanded our program, we have been blessed by off-site partnerships that provide the hands-on experiences that are essential to technology and trades education. But our goal is to provide our students the space and tools they need right here at the school. To meet that need, we are planning to build a 10,000-square-foot technology wing beside the construction shop at the back of the school.
The Vision
Additional Facilities
We have identified several new spaces that will be necessary to meet the needs of these programs. This Technology Education Building & Program Expansion includes:
The Invitation
The Innovation and Technology Campaign
This is an exciting and ambitious plan, one that will have an enormous impact on our students.
We invite you to join us in creating more and more opportunities to impact the lives of more and more students.
To support the project, we have launched the Innovation and Technology Campaign. We expect the total project cost will be approximately $5,500,000. This includes the design and build of the new space, equipping the new shops and classrooms, and providing for the first two years of supplies and materials. Less than a year into the Campaign, we have secured more than $3,460,000 in gifts and pledges.
We thank God for the visionary and generous supporters who have allowed us to get such a great start!
We are expecting the Campaign to last up to three years, but this is a giving-driven project – we’ll move as fast as God moves people to give.
Join us in supporting the expansion of our technology education facilities. There are several ways you can make an immediate gift or a multi-year pledge. Follow the link below to see the ways you can make a gift, either immediately or through a multi-year pledge.
The Matching Gift Campaign
We did it! Matching Gift Surpasses Target
We are thrilled to share that more than $335,000 was raised through our Matching Gift Campaign—far exceeding our original goal of $250,000! We are amazed by the support shown by parents, alumni, friends, and partners who believe in the mission of London Christian High, and we share a grateful ‘thank you!’ to those who made this possible!
Even more, we are humbled by God’s goodness in moving in the hearts of our supporters – we recognize that this outpouring of encouragement is not the work of human hands alone, but a reflection of God’s faithfulness expressed through those who are called to support our mission.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in our Information and Technology Campaign. With the success of the Matching Gift Program, we have now reached 69% of our overall $5,500,000 goal.
Our next major milestone is reaching 75%, the threshold set by our Board to begin construction. Our hope is to reach this point by the beginning of the summer so the new building can be started this summer and completed in time for the beginning of the 2027–28 school year.
Reaching 75% requires an additional $320,000. Having already achieved that amount once through the Matching Gift Campaign, we are confident that—with God’s leading and the continued support of our community—we can do it again. We invite you to prayerfully consider how you might play a role in helping us reach this next goal.
Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your commitment to Christian education. Please continue to uphold London Christian High, our team and our Board as we work to enhance the learning opportunities for our students, for God’s glory.
The Progress
The Innovation and Technology Campaign was launched in March 2025 with a goal of raising $5,500,000. As we approach one year of actively seeking support, we are thrilled to announce that we have received more than 69% of the total required.
Thank You
Thank you for making an impact in the lives of our students. Together, we will provide the resources needed to expand the learning opportunities we offer students as they prepare for work or further studies, and expand the reach of LCH to those who otherwise may not consider LCH. We seek to give God glory in all things.
