Capital Campaign
More Than A Century of Investing in Children
Imagine walking through a campus where every classroom inspires curiosity, every gathering space builds community, every child feels safe and known, and every lesson points students toward God's truth.
Imagine teachers equipped with spaces that foster creativity and excellence. Families are welcomed into an environment that reflects the love of Christ. Children grow not only in knowledge, but also in wisdom, character, compassion, and faith.
This is the future we are building together.
The families who came before us invested in children they would never meet.
Because of their generosity, today's students are flourishing.
Now, it is our turn.
Your Place in the Story
Whether your family has been part of St. John's for generations or your child is the first in your family to walk these halls, you are now part of a remarkable story.
Together with St. John's Church and Renewal Church, we have the opportunity to continue a legacy that began more than a century ago, ensuring that future generations experience the same Christ-centered education, caring community, and life-changing opportunities that have shaped students for over 125 years.
Together, we can build hope for future generations.
My request of you is simple. Pray for this campaign. Pray that God would move your heart to support it with a sacrificial gift. Pray that this campaign grows our opportunities to walk alongside each other. Pray that our ministries continue to change lives. And give thanks for the staff, volunteers and generous hearts who are and have been committed to growing St. John’s – Renewal.

Performing Arts & Auditorium
- Refresh the auditorium with updated finishes, lighting, and technology to create an inviting, functional space where students can develop and share their gifts through music, theater, performances, and school programs.
Student Life Spaces
- Refresh hallways, the cafeteria, community room, and multipurpose spaces to create more inviting and functional places for students to learn, gather, connect, and build community.
Early Learning Center
- Enhance the spaces where our youngest students begin their educational and spiritual journey, creating environments designed for learning, play, discovery, and growth.
St. John's has always been a school for generations. Today, our hallways are filled with children of alumni, and even children of alumni who themselves are the children of alumni - a testament to the blessed lineage of families who came before us. Proverbs 13:22 reminds us that "a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." This capital campaign is our opportunity to honor the principle of that biblical calling by investing not only in our current families, but in those of generations to come. By modernizing learning spaces, enhancing security, and refreshing our Early Learning Center and K–8 facilities, we can ensure both our children and staff have the facilities needed for excellence in learning and ministry.
