We Have a Location!

We have a location!

Union Chapel Church met for the last time to allow a final opportunity for Q&A, open debate as part of the Administrative Council procedure and then to approve the lease agreement.

Just to explain the atmosphere and the congregation’s mood, I haven’t seen that many smiles in one room in a long, long time. The vote was 32-0, a unanimous decision to openly welcome us onto their property. There was genuine excitement throughout the conversation and after the meeting was over, discussion of all the new possibilities, ways to make rooms work better, cleaning up and getting organized was so fun to watch. Faces I saw to be hesitant just days or weeks ago were bright and enthusiastic, full of joy. That went on for nearly an hour after the meeting was over. These folks are truly excited for us and for the ministry opportunities that are sure to flow out as we come to know each other a bit better. In the two Sundays I’ve spent with them as a congregation and in meetings with their Board of Trustees, I have found them to be incredibly kind and full of a love for the Lord. I pray that you will take time to get to know these people as they want to get to know all of you.

God has truly blessed both parties with this opportunity for the coming year and I pray that we will bless them with the same level of loving commitment that we have for The Summit Academy.

Thursday, July 23rd is your first opportunity to do just that as we hold our informational meeting for families, Union Chapel members and prospective families. The fun starts at 6pm for Summit Families and I’m sure there will be members excited to meet you there so please come! Join in a time of celebrating God’s love for us all and this school. Can you actually say no to ice cream? We didn’t think so! Come and give thanks.

Thank you for your patience and so many prayers,

Mickey Justice
Board President
The Summit Academy
