Delmarva Christian announces building plans at fall banquet
Delmarva Christian Schools, committed to providing excellent Christian education, announced the resounding success of the Stronger Together campaign's kickoff event held Oct. 12. The gathering marked the official launch of a transformative vision for a pre-K to grade 12 one-campus model in Georgetown, designed to unify two campuses into a single location.
The occasion was momentous for the Delmarva Christian Schools community and its dedicated supporters. At the heart of the evening was a vision, one that cultivates growth while deepening the school's impact on the Delmarva community. The event brought together more than 300 guests and garnered support from 36 generous sponsors. In recognition of the collective dedication to Christian education and the school's mission, Delmarva Christian Schools extends heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed to the banquet's exceptional success.
The central theme of the evening was unity, which underscores the idea that uniting as one community fortifies Delmarva Christian Schools, and amplifies its ability to advance its mission to prepare students spiritually, academically and physically to know and do God’s will in their lives.
“It has been an absolute honor to see God’s faithfulness to Delmarva Christian through the planning and fundraising efforts of this campaign. To raise more than $20 million in a year's time is truly a miracle,” said Justin Savini, director of advancement. “This project is the result of incredible faith and obedience for the purpose of impacting students for generations to come. We cannot wait to see how God uses this one-campus model to fulfill the mission and vision of DCS. God’s fingerprints are all over this Delmarva Christian story, and we are so grateful to everyone in the community, past and present, who are helping us provide excellent Christian education."
As the Stronger Together campaign progresses, community support and involvement are integral to its success. Having already raised over $20 million of its $30 million goal, the campaign includes a $5 million match challenge and ambitious building plans. They encompass the construction of a new middle and high school, the addition of a middle school gym, an early learning center and an auditorium, totaling 90,000 square feet dedicated to serving students from pre-K to grade 12. This endeavor paves the way for future growth, ensuring an impact on the Delmarva community through excellence in Christian education.
Matt Kwiatkowski, head of schools at Delmarva Christian, said, "We at DCS have been so incredibly blessed by Jesus! As we focus on this building project, it has become obvious that we are to hold fast to the past, be present in the current, and continue building for the future. Jesus has shown his providential and sovereign nature through special milestones in our first 20 years, and so, we hold onto them as rocks of remembrance of who he is and what he can do. We, along with our many community members, are simply seeking to be good stewards of what he has given us so that these next generations can share Jesus' truth in love, no matter their next steps post graduation."
Delmarva Christian Schools remains dedicated to its mission, preparing students spiritually, academically and physically to know and do God’s will in their lives. As a provider of excellent Christian education, the school is poised to make an even greater impact on the Delmarva community with the successful launch of the Stronger Together campaign.
