This announcement was made tonight by our board chair:
Good evening, everyone! It’s a blessing to see all of you here today, our beloved school family, along with the new families who have recently joined us. This is a time of celebration.
First, I want to take a moment to honor our incredible teachers, who have poured their hearts into educating our children with such love, dedication, and faith. They’ve been faithful stewards of the gifts God has entrusted to them, and we are so grateful for their service. Without their commitment, our school would not be what it is today.
As most of you know, we are a small but mighty school, and for years now, we’ve been educating our children in a humble space—in the basement of a church. In many ways, our journey has been like that of the Israelites who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. But just as God faithfully led them, He has been leading us. And after almost 40 years of our own waiting, we have extraordinary news to share.
By God’s grace and faithfulness, Lighthouse Christian Academy has been blessed with a truly miraculous opportunity—access to almost 80 acres of land on the beautiful outskirts of Sylvan Lake, in the Birchcliff neighborhood! This is not just land; it is the future of our school and our children. It’s a place where we will be able to build the school we’ve always dreamed of—a place with classrooms that have windows (and what a view they’ll have!), a proper gym where our children can run, play sports, and grow strong, and even space for arts, music, drama, agricultural opportunities, and possibly trades apprenticeship opportunities.
The land itself feels like a glimpse of God’s abundance—so many acres overlooking Sylvan Lake. We see the opportunity to build what we like to call an “educational resort,” where our children will not only grow academically but in their faith, in the arts, in the trades, and in connection with God’s creation. What an incredible opportunity this is for our community, and we are beyond excited to see how God will lead us in the next phase of this journey.
Just as God has been faithful to us in the past, we know He will continue to guide us as we plan, develop, and eventually build on this land. In Luke 16:10, Jesus tells us, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” For years, we have been faithful with what God has given us, and now He is blessing us with something so much greater. We believe that God has stored up resources, opportunities, and partners who will step forward to help us in this new chapter.
We are also incredibly grateful to Premier Danielle Smith for her recent announcement about supporting the building of new schools, including private schools like ours. It is wonderful to know that our vision aligns with her commitment to education.
We cannot wait to see who God will call to walk with us on this exciting journey—parents, supporters, builders, and more. As we embark on this adventure together, we are filled with hope, faith, and joy, trusting that the same God who has led us this far will continue to provide in ways we could never imagine.
Thank you all for being here today and for being a part of our school family. Together, we will see God’s faithfulness unfold in ways beyond our wildest dreams., not just for being together but for the amazing journey we are on as a school community.
