First of the year Donations… and CAT / State Farm matching opportunities

It’s still early in the calendar year, so it is still a great time to support Christian Life Academy! You may have already seen our mailer from December, but this is just a reminder… If you or others you know are looking for a ministry to support, CLA would be grateful for your support.  Tuition pays less than ⅔ of expenses, so we rely on donations.  If you have questions, please check with Mr. Horning.  Also, if you or others you know are Caterpillar or State Farm employees (or retirees), you may want to let them know that both companies have a program for donations to CLA being matched as a 501(c)3 non-profit! The CLA office may be able to help.  


From the Principal's Desk

I am thankful today.  I’m thankful for friends who are caring enough to listen.  For those who are close enough to help.  I’m thankful for those who are confident in their faith and can challenge me.  My Christian Life Academy friends, co-workers and students are like family.  Early on in the history of CLA, I was surrounded by my immediate family - my wife and children were all a physical part of this community.  As time passed, and my family has grown older and moved on -  Now, I see the CLA family as “my family” as well!  I pray that in this community, you are also able to recognize the value of one another… and call yourself an integral part of the “CLA family!” 


Blessings,

        Mr. Horning
