Rebuild Collis Building at Nazarene Christian Academy

Help Rebuild the Beloved Collis Building at Nazarene Christian Academy:

Dear Friends, Family, and Community Members,

We come to you today with heavy hearts but steadfast hope.

On July, 28th, 2025 a fire broke out in the smaller but beloved building on our campus—the Collis Building—home to our Pres-school, Pre-K and Kindergarten students. This building has housed countless memories, laughter, and learning and we are looking forward to recreating this space for our current and future students.

We are grateful that no one was injured and that the fire was contained, but the damage is extensive. Unfortunately, there are several significant losses and costs that insurance will not cover. These include:

-Restoration of teaching materials and classroom equipment

-Repair of structural and electrical components not fully covered

-Replacement of furniture, student resources, and supplies

-Temporary classroom solutions to keep students learning without disruption

As a ministry of Nazarene Christian Academy and First Church of the Nazarene, we remain committed to providing excellent Christ-centered education. But to fully restore and rebuild what has been lost, we need your help.

We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to raise funds that will go directly toward the restoration and rebuilding of the Collis Building. Every dollar will help us return this special place to the vibrant center of student life and learning that it has always been.

Whether you are a current or former student, a parent, a friend of the Academy, or simply someone who believes in the power of community and Christian education—we invite you to partner with us.

Please consider giving today and sharing this campaign with others. Your generosity, prayers, and support will help us rebuild—stronger, united, and ready for what God has next.

Thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude,

First Church of the Nazarene Pastoral Staff
