A Place to Grow

For years, God has done something remarkable through St. Thomas Christian University. Through a partnership with a local Jacksonville church, we built the James Cole Institute — an extension of St. Thomas that has trained leaders, graduated students, and changed lives.

But we've outgrown our space.

We've held graduations where there wasn't enough room — where families stood in hallways because there weren't enough seats, and loved ones couldn't sit together to watch their graduate walk. Every year, it becomes clearer: we need a home built for what God is doing here.

That home is closer than ever. The church has blessed St. Thomas with an educational building — a place we can finally call our own. But to make it truly ours, our school is responsible for $200,000 of the total $1.5 million project, and we have just 21 days to raise it.

This is where you come in.

Whether you're an alumnus, a current student, a teacher or staff member, a friend of St. Thomas, a benefactor, or someone whose family was once honored by our school — you are part of this family. And every seed matters, whether it's $5 or $5,000.

We're not asking you to give what you don't have. We're asking you to give what God puts on your heart.

When you give, let us know how you're connected to St. Thomas — alumnus, friend, family, teacher — however that connection was made. This is about more than a building. It's about our school, our family, our legacy.

Don't wait. The window is real, and the opportunity is now. Drop your seed today, and let's build this place to grow — together.

"Let all things be done for building up." — 1 Corinthians 14:26
