A question which can be answered at many different levels. We can read Genesis and ask why we are here. We might answer that with 'To glorify God and worship Him. Students can ask the same question during the day in school, and the answer might be "because I have to be" (or more optimistically, to learn and be prepared for life.)
How about OCA. Clearly, we are not here to make money, or to raise cash. Though clearly, raising cash is a part of our needs as we prepare for our new location. At our most recent board meeting a board member challenged us all to remember that we are here to minister to the community, by providing high quality education, from a Christ centered view. The second part of that challenge, is that we should be able to do that to a much larger audience than we currently have. In a metro area our size, the Christian school population should be several thousand instead of in the hundreds.
As a board, we are beginning to think about how to grow Christian education in Omaha. A new location with quality classroom space is one step on that journey.
