The Cornerstone Fund

For 29 years, I have had the privilege of serving at Metrolina Christian Academy as the founding Athletic Director.  Looking back over three decades of ministry, education, athletics, and growth, one singular truth stands out above all else: God's undeniable faithfulness to our school community.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness," (Lamentations 3:22-23).  Every student who has walked through our doors, every family we have impacted, and every program we have implemented is a testament to those daily, fresh mercies.

Because of supporters like you, this year we celebrated:

• 89 students making professions of faith in Christ
• 1,500 + students hearing the truth and power of God's Word daily
• 500 student-athletes mentored by Christ-centered coaches, after school
• Numerous campus improvements, including significant upgrades to our elementary playground, lunch picnic areas, and other spaces that enhance the student experience

Our growth over these years is deeply tied to partners like you who have stood alongside Metrolina.  Your support ensures that we continue to fulfill Psalm 119:90: "Your faithfulness endures to all generations."  Together, we are equipping the next generation of Christian leaders to stand fast in their faith and impact the world for Christ.

As we look toward the future, will you partner with us financially to secure the next chapter of Metrolina Christian Academy?

Thank you for your incredible generosity, prayers, and shared commitment to our students.  I am excited to see the Lord's hand continue to move and bless through His people.  Please reach out to me if you want to discuss ideas, or the Lord lays it upon your heart to give in a specific way or to a specific cause.  As I embrace this new role, I pray that you will join me in prayer as to how He might use you to make a difference for the Kingdom.

The Cornerstone Fund is MCA’s annual giving program and its most critical fundraising effort because it supports all students and programs (Early Education through 12^th grade) by providing for enhancements and resources that are not otherwise covered by tuition. The Cornerstone Fund also serves to support the school's mission in training and equipping our young people to be champions for Christ, as well as provide a strong foundation for the continued growth of MCA's ministry. Each year, every MCA family is asked to make a financial gift to The Cornerstone Fund that is above and beyond the cost of tuition.

The funds raised through the Cornerstone Fund not only provide 'extras' to many of the school's programs sooner than would otherwise be available, but also allows MCA to keep tuition at a more affordable level for families.  Your tax-deductible gift is vital in maintaining and improving educational excellence at MCA. Gifts of any size are a blessing and greatly needed as each one makes a difference in educating our students for the cause of Christ.

Through the annual Cornerstone Fund, the generous support of our school families, grandparents, alumni and friends has allowed us to fund many wonderful enhancements and resources beyond the general budget. Here's a sampling of major enhancements made possible by the Cornerstone Fund over the last few years:

• new buses for field trips and athletic events
• improved security measures - card-access only doors and security cameras
• STEAM initiatives 
• mobile iPad labs 
• Lower School and Early Education playground equipment
• tuition assistance
• professional development for staff
• outdoor learning environment
• athletic scoreboards
• band instruments
• state of the art digital keyboard for performing arts 
• campus improvements - such as covered walkways, new flooring for classrooms and hallways, and new gym floor
• funding for building projects - new high school & middle school educational buildings/classrooms, track & field, new Pathways building, and more.

To learn more about why the Cornerstone Fund is our most critical yearly fundraising effort, watch this video.

The opening phrase of John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, He gave…”  This verse reminds us that we are never more like God than when we give out of love – our time, talents, and treasures.  Your gift to the Annual Cornerstone Fund allows MCA to stay strong and grow in its mission to prepare our students to be difference makers for the cause of Christ. 

Thank you for loving MCA and advancing our mission! Together, we are METROLINA!

So that the generation to come might know Him. – Psalm 78:6
