PROJECT
IMPACT
Team TC:
I am excited to officially introduce you to Project IMPACT. This project
includes a new 7th/8th grade building, improved parking and traffic flow,
enhanced safety procedures, and a premier athletic arena for our high
school. The completion of this project will also open up future programming
opportunities in our grade school with the soon-to-be-vacated 7th/8th
grade wing available for “flex” space and innovative models of instruction.

Our school has been on the move! We have already sent five athletic
teams to STATE this year, and we have witnessed other extraordinary
accomplishments in academics, music, and various extra-curricular
clubs. Our enrollment is strong and our admissions office is already
busy for 2016-2017. Additionally, we have intentionally controlled our
tuition to remain lower than nearly any comparably sized private
school in the area and surrounding communities.
For those who have been on campus over the last few years, you
have also seen our dedication to the finest facilities. What makes
the recent renovation and construction even more impressive is that
we have finished each project without absorbing debt. We are a
completely debt-free organization, which is extremely rare among
private schools and churches today. Stubbornly sticking with that
standard, our goal is to complete Project IMPACT with the same
conviction—no debt! This is a big project. The expected full cost of
the project will be under $16MM. We are well on our way to achieving
that goal through the quiet phase of the fundraising effort. In the
months ahead, as we go public with the campaign, we are counting
on our alumni, parents and friends to generously support this project.
In the midst of our successes, we remain fiercely committed
to “keeping the main thing the main thing”— which is
to give Jesus the highest place in every program of our
school. We desire to train, equip, and inspire difference-

WHY DID WE SELECT THE TITLE OF PROJECT IMPACT?
This project will have an enormous and immediate impact on our
program of education and our athletic programs. A simple review of
this brochure will clearly reveal the materially positive impact of this
project. But most importantly, this project will strengthen our mission
to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
makers to change the world for Jesus Christ, and we desire to do this as
excellently as we can. Make no mistake about it…every accomplishment of
our school is nothing more than an opportunity to proclaim HIS truth and
HIS love to the world.
With God all things are possible, and we can make an IMPACT for eternity.
Please join me in this adventure through prayer and/or financial support.
Very Truly Yours for Christian Education,
This project will strengthen our mission
to impact the world for Jesus Christ.

Our junior high students will finally have their own space—
even for lunch and chapel. This will also bring many
benefits to the elementary school and high school since
they will not have to share space with the junior high.
IMPACT
There are countless parents, extended family members,
alumni, current students, and a host of others who would
testify that goals are being reached and dreams are
being realized largely because of the IMPACT of Timothy
Christian School. By the grace of God, these claims will
persist as we carry on in the mobilization of leaders and
difference-makers for our world.
OUR SCHOOLS
Project IMPACT will provide a new home for our 7th and 8th
grade students, thus providing our junior high with a greater
sense of identity on campus. Our existing junior high wing is the
oldest and most rigid portion of the grade school. The new junior
high building will deliver a 21st century learning environment
with greater opportunities for collaboration and strengthened
technology. Our junior high students will be proud of this space!
As we vacate the existing junior high wing in the grade school,
it will open up many doors for flex space and programmatic
innovation for our younger grades.

OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Project IMPACT also includes a competition gymnasium for our high school
sports. The gymnasium will seat 1,200 people (nearly double our current
size) and will have significant lobby and concessions areas. We will also have
unique viewing areas for athletic contests, multiple locker rooms, a full training
room, and added storage. The additional gym space will help us to resolve the
practice and game scheduling conflicts that presently exist, particularly with
our winter sports. The new gymnasium will stand out as the leading athletic
facility in our conference and beyond. Athletics is our most visible activity to
the community. Project IMPACT will provide us with a state-of-the-art facility
that will match the growing successes of our athletic program, capture the
attention of our community, and excite our student body.
Please join with us by putting your full support and
resources behind this important project and milestone
at our school. We pray that God will be glorified and
the lives of His people impacted by this place and in this
time. We sincerely ask for your prayers in this endeavor
as we do His work and as we prepare another generation
to go out and serve God in this world.

Dear Constituents:
Thank you for your interest and investment into the future of Timothy Christian Schools. We look
forward to successfully completing Project IMPACT. With your help and encouragement we will
move forward and improve on an already beautiful campus, an excellent Pre-12th school system,
and most importantly a school dedicated to Christian education. This specific project will greatly
impact every building and enhance educational and athletic programs at all levels, benefitting
our students for years and generations to come.
We appreciate the many benefactors of TCS who have been so loyal and faithful for many
years. Your continued support is needed and very much appreciated. To those who are newer
to the TCS community, we need you just as much. It will take a broad base of support to reach
our $16MM goal for this campaign. We celebrate what God has done for our school for so many
years, and we celebrate this diverse community and how God has brought us together in so
many wonderful ways. Working together, we are confident that we can reach even higher and
