Next Steps: Updated Campus Plans
Dear Shoals Christian Family,
For more than thirty years, Shoals Christian School has been built upon the faithful foundation, generosity, and sacrifice of families who believed in the mission of providing Christ-centered education in the Shoals area. Every life changed through the fulfillment of this mission is a testament to God’s faithfulness and to those who came before us—parents, grandparents, and friends who have given selflessly so that their children, and ours, could grow in faith and truth.
God has richly blessed Shoals Christian School. Through His provision, we have seen tremendous growth in our enrollment, in our academic and extracurricular programs, and most importantly, in the spiritual impact upon the lives of our students. Each year, new families join our school family, drawn by the desire for an education that integrates faith and learning. These blessings are not by chance; they are the result of God’s faithfulness and the unwavering commitment of His people.
Now, it is our turn. As we look to the future, we recognize that the next generation of students will walk these same halls and sit in these same classrooms. The opportunities we create today will shape the lives of students yet to come. With that responsibility comes the need to continue strengthening our campus and facilities so that we can continue to serve with excellence.
“Next Steps” is not simply a building campaign—it is about continuing the mission of our school. It’s about ensuring that the next generation of students will learn to love God with all their heart, mind, and strength, and that they will go out and impact the world for Christ. Together, we have the opportunity to build not just buildings, but future leaders who will bring glory to His name.
As you read through these materials, I invite you to prayerfully consider how you and your family might take part in this vision. Each of us has a role to play in taking the next faithful step. I encourage you to learn more about this campaign, reflect on how God might lead you to participate, and join us in writing the next chapter of Shoals Christian School’s story.
For His Glory,
Chuck Owens
Head of School
PHASE 2
Immediately upon completion of Phase 1, a complete overhaul and remodel of the existing gymnasium will begin. Phase 2 will include the reorientation of the gym floor from North-South to East-West, allowing for the addition of 5,000 sq ft of new instructional and extracurricular space. This additional space will include Fine Arts spaces, a STEM/Robotics lab, as well as a new cafeteria/dining hall. The reconfigured gymnasium will provide dedicated Physical Education space, a secondary gathering space for school functions and performances, as well as allow for additional athletic team practice space.
