Financially Sustainable Church – 28,000 SF Church Facility with Early Childhood Education Center
This 28,000 square-foot facility sits on a 26-acre property and will serve as more than just a place of worship. It features a community center and an early childhood education center. The project is a joint effort between First Baptist Church and Lionheart Children’s Academy, a Texas-based company. First Baptist’s goal was to build a facility that can be used by the community and would meet a need for early childhood education and preschool in the Greenwood area. Lionheart Children’s Academy is a STEM-designed children’s academy that brings Christian-based teachings to school-age children in an approved format. Lionheart will also be a revenue generator for the church. Instead of renting the space from the church, the children’s academy will give the church a monthly share of the income.
