Portland Christian School Capital Campaign: Rick Folden writes: The Lord is blessing the campaign in ways that He could only give. PCS started the Silent Phase the end of January. This is the part of the campaign where the School Board members, Administrators, Co-chairs, Steering Committee member, and Key Donors are trained in the mission and asked to support this project with donation pledges and dedication to the work needed to make the project successful and excellent for Him we serve. The Lord has lifted up faithful and dedicated leadership to serve in this endeavor. Along with the expansion part of this campaign there are provisions for the Portland Campus for improvement and operational funding. The PCS School Board has committed to maintain a school in the Portland community as long as there are students and the Lord provides.
