For years, the online parent survey has pointed us towards the need for an indoor cafeteria," explains NCS superintendent Geoff Brown. "And, for years, that target has eluded us. But, I earnestly believe that is what God is pointing our community towards right now. And, I believe that, in the same way that He provided for the Shortridge building, He's providing for a cafeteria." Through Jog-a-thon, the annual fundraising dinner, the sacrificial generosity of many Crusaders, and the major support of a single donor with a vision for the mission of Northwest Christian School, the brand new $5M elementary classroom building came together in four years. "With an in-hand and very recent cost estimate for a cafeteria that is less than that, I believe that God is showing us that this can happen again with a new cafeteria and a second gym."
