Description

Plum Creek Christian Academy is in its eleventh year educating children in a distinctly Christian environment. God has blessed us in many ways, and by His grace, our student body includes 180 students this year! We are grateful for the opportunity to influence so many lives.

This past summer, we finished building a new school building of approximately 10,000 square feet as a first step in expanding our facilities. Our enrollment jumped by 28%, and our new building is already full! With a growing student body and our plans to continue adding high school grades, we are looking for ways to make the best use of our original building and considering the timing of an addition to the new building. However, we need to make significant progress on our current building loan (< $1.3 million) before banks would even consider allowing us to begin the next phase of construction.

We are holding a fundraising auction on Saturday, April 29 at 11 a.m. at which time we hope to raise $35,000 to reduce our current mortgage. We are targeting an attendance of 500. The auction will be held at Dyer Baptist Church, 735 213th Street, Dyer, IN 46311. We need attractive, quality merchandise for the auction. Would you please consider helping us with a donation or a cash contribution?

PCCA is a branch of Dyer Baptist Church, which is recognized by the IRS as a non-profit organization. Our federal tax identification number is 35-1309827. Therefore, any and all donations are tax-deductible. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me. We genuinely appreciate any help that you can give.
