Giving Day
Giving Day 2023 is Tuesday, September 19.
A $100,000 Matching Gift has generously been pledged for the 2023 event!
This once-a-year event supports FVL's Christian education ministry by helping the FVL Federation meet its annual Let the Children Come mortgage payment. Each year, the FVL Federation needs to pay $475,000 to retire its mortgage by 2038.
We continue to be thankful for the blessings that have come of the 2018 Let the Children Come effort. It resulted in the addition of 11,955 square feet and a remodel of 15,839 square feet. A science and a biomedical lab were added along with four classrooms and two fine arts rooms. The tower entrance was remodeled to provide enhanced security, the student services area was remodeled to allow for more focused instruction, and much-needed office space was added.
Thank you for your continued support to enable payment of the annual mortgage!
