Construction Has Started!

We’re not just building walls—we’re building lives grounded in truth.


Every gift to Forward in Faith helps us provide academic excellence through a biblical worldview—expanding our campus to equip the next generation to know Him and make Him known. Join us in shaping hearts, minds, and futures for His glory.

You can give online using the button below. One-time or recurring gifts are easy to set up—and monthly giving makes a lasting impact.
Just $30 a month over 3 years adds up to over $1,000. That’s about a dollar a day to help build for generations to come.

Our Heritage of Faith


Over 43 years ago, a group of faithful parents followed God’s calling. They envisioned a school where their children could receive an academically excellent education grounded in Biblical truth. That vision became Christian Heritage Academy, a beacon of faith and learning in Franklin County. Since its founding in 1980, CHA has remained steadfast in its mission to equip students with the knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual foundation they need to impact the world for Christ. 

At Christian Heritage Academy, we embrace our biblical responsibility to introduce the next generation to Jesus Christ and the absolute truth of God’s Word. This vision compels us to take bold steps forward, ensuring our school remains a stronghold of faith and learning. Our Forward in Faith Capital Campaign is more than just a fundraising effort—it is an investment in our children, our heritage, and the Great Commission itself. By expanding and renovating Cooper Campus, we are preserving the legacy of those who built this school on a foundation of faith while equipping future generations to know and follow God's will. Uniting all Knights on Cooper Campus will not only strengthen our community but will also reaffirm our commitment to providing a Christ-centered education in a place that truly feels like home. Join us as we move forward in faith, trusting God to provide as we build for His glory!

God's Leading in Our Growth


Throughout our history, the Lord has faithfully provided for CHA, guiding our steps as we seek to fulfill His will. Today, we stand at another pivotal moment—one that requires bold faith and trust in His plan. As our student body continues to grow, we have prayerfully reevaluated the best way to expand while preserving the heart of CHA.

A Vision for the Future


To accommodate our growing student body, campus improvements will be completed in phases:

  • Phase One: Adding classrooms to the second floor of The Castle to ensure that all CHA students can attend school on one campus. Additionally, a cafetorium addition will be built to enhance our facilities.
  • Future Phases: Constructing an addition to connect Heritage Hall and The Castle, creating more space for learning, fellowship, and worship.
Kingdom Education

This expansion is not just about buildings—it’s about equipping the next generation to know, love, and follow Christ. Every brick laid and every room built will serve as a place where students encounter the absolute truth of God’s Word, grow in their faith, and glorify God through academic excellence.

The Call to Give


Psalm 126:3 proclaims, "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Indeed, He has been faithful to CHA for over four decades, and we trust that He will continue to provide. But just as the early church in Acts freely gave of what they had to advance the Gospel, we are called to do the same.

Acts 4:32-35 describes how believers shared everything they had so that no one was in need. They understood a profound truth—everything belongs to God, and we are merely stewards of His resources. Our Forward in Faith capital campaign is an opportunity for the CHA community to come together and invest in the Kingdom work happening at our school. This is not just about funding a building project; it is about making an eternal impact in the lives of students who will one day go out and change the world for Christ.

We invite you to prayerfully consider how God is calling you to be a part of this mission. Whether through financial support, prayer, or advocacy, your involvement matters. If you would like more information on how to contribute, please contact Grace Altice at 540-483-5855.

Together, we move forward in faith—trusting in His provision, standing firm on His truth, and dedicating all we have for His glory.

To God be the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

FAQs

We’re excited to share that construction is officially underway! Phase One will be complete and ready for students by the start of the 2026–2027 school year. For the first time since 2020, all CHA Knights will be UKnighted on ONE CAMPUS—sharing one space, one mission, and one God-glorifying vision.

Instruction will continue as normal. By the time students return in August, all major overhead construction will be completed, and the remaining work will be finishing touches done safely and securely. Drop-off and pick-up routines will stay the same at Cooper, and nothing will change at Camelot this school year.

Not yet! Families at Camelot won’t see any major changes until the 2026–27 school year, when all students move to the expanded Castle campus. For now, it’s business as usual—with big excitement on the horizon!

Great question! The cafetorium (a cafeteria + auditorium-style space) will be a multi-purpose facility designed especially for our elementary students. It will be used for lunches, indoor recess, small chapels, and more—creating a flexible space for learning and fun. It will also include a kitchenette and office space.

 

The Cafetorium will be located on our current Castle campus, occupying part of the existing parking lot. But don’t worry—we’ve already planned ahead. Take a look at the next question.

Yes, but in a good way! While part of the Castle parking lot will be converted into the new Cafetorium, the project also includes expanded and updated parking areas to better serve parents, visitors, and staff. Improved traffic flow is one more reason we’re excited about this next phase!
