In order for any organization to know where it is going, a written plan of action is critical.

4 This plan , known here as the five year Improvement plan , is a map that charts the direction of Sample Christian School for the next five years. While the School seeks long term stability and growth long beyond the five year range, the following provides a blueprint for the immediate future. The future for Sample Christian School is bright with promise; only the Lord knows what is in store for us, but we are excited that we will likely be in new facilities during the next five years at a new location. Within this time span, some important decisions will be made that will affect the future of the ministry for many years to come. This is an exciting time in the history of Sample Christan School . Sample Christain School is a School that seeks to please the Lord in every facet of its operation from the academic integrity of the classroom to the benefit package of its employees.

5 Our organization, in order to please Christ, must do all to the glory of God. It is our goal as administration and faculty to one day hear the Lord say the words well done concerning this ministry. All suggested improvements are with this end in mind, recognizing the admonition in scripture that unless the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it..

History of 6 DPSOH &KULVWDLQ School The year 2010 marked the 35th anniversary of Sample Christain Church.

7 The ministry was founded on October 19, 1975. In the early days of the ministry, the church met in Sample High School , which is adjacent to the church property today. The first organizational and charter service was held on December 12, 1975. In 1978, the church bought six and one-half acres next to the high School from --- and --- for $98,000. The property and buildings are worth $13,000,000 today. God has blessed throughout the years and the church has grown considerably. Although Sample Christain School was founded in 1985, the first four years of the School were not on a solid foundation. That changed in June of 1989, when Pastor --- accepted the call of Sample Christain Church. Recognizing the need for change, Pastor reduced the size of the School to only include kindergarten students.

8 The master plan was that the School would gradually add a grade per year until the elementary School was filled out. The plan was that the School would eventually go through grade six; students would then transfer to Christian schools in the area for junior high and high School . In the next three years, the School expanded at one grade per year . In 1995, the School added fourth and fifth grades. Although the ministry had staff housing, this aspect was upgraded: a new 4,000 square feet home was constructed on church property for female teachers. The house accommodates up to five teachers with five bedrooms and three baths upstairs. The first floor is a common living area with kitchen, living and dining room, half-bath, and den. The garage is used as a workshop area for the construction of the church projects.

9 The downstairs was converted into a Servant's Suite that sleeps up to seven with a living room, dining room, stocked kitchen, bedroom, washer/dryer and bathroom. Although there were only a few students for sixth grade, Sample Christain expanded to sixth grade in 1996, using a combination 5th/6th grade class. In 1998, Sample Christain began the year with 160 students, including a small junior high composed of a few seventh and eighth graders. In January of that same year a beautiful new addition to the church/ School complex was completed. This addition included a new gym, seven classrooms, a computer room, a School office, a kitchen, and shower rooms. It was a sizable addition to the church complex. With a growing School , a decision was made to hire a full time administrator.

10 Mr. --- and his wife --- were called to the church in July 1999 with the goal of filling out the School to grade 12. When School opened in the fall of 1999, grades expanded from K3 through 10 th grade and enrollment reached 175. Miss --- became the elementary supervisor. --- moved from elementary supervision to become the first secondary supervisor. With Mrs. --- as the daycare / kindergarten supervisor, the School now had three supervisors to help in administration. That same year , the School began to compete in state competition on all levels. Much to the surprise of all, the School won the percentage trophy at the Northern Regional State Competition and sent a high School student to the AACS nationals for biology academic testing. The School instituted several new traditions: Turn- Around Day, Spirit Days, and Teacher Appreciation Day.
