Let’s Grow Together Campaign Update We’re excited to announce that just one year into our two-year Let’s Grow Together campaign we’ve met our anonymous donor’s challenge of 1400 donors and 150 alumni donors who have contributed to the campaign! God is good! Thank you!
God’s blessings are abundant, and we continue to respond to those blessings together as the KML family. Reaching these aggressive goals signifies that our vision for the future of KML is moving forward at record speed, a future which includes God’s blessings of continued enrollment growth as well as expanded facilities. As we approach the halfway point of the campaign, we have raised approximately half of our $10 million goal. We invite you to join us in offering prayers of thanks for the1400 donors as well as the nearly $5 million already committed to the project.
$4.87M as of May 11, 2023 THANK YOU! Goal: $10M by June 30, 2024
We now pray that God will bless us through your continued support to hit the $10 million goal in this coming second year. We ask you to prayerfully consider a special Let’s Grow Together gift at this time which will advance KML’s goal of offering a Christ-centered education to more teens. The time is now. Let’s Grow Together! Click on the image below to join the celebration with this special message from your KML president, Dr. Jamie Luehring.

We get to share the Good News of sins forgiven and heaven every day with them as well. We pray God will continue to keep all of our KML family strongly connected to him. That helps us today as we bear much fruit on our earthly walk and grants us an eternity of absolute perfection. God bless you as you raise your children in him! In Jesus, President Luehring
