Q & A
Question: I have heard that Maranatha Christian Center (at 72nd and Oak) is for sale. Is our school interested in purchasing the property?
Answer: The possible purchase of the Maranatha property is certainly interesting to consider. The property is on 15 acres (compared to our current 2 acres). As a board, though, we don’t feel we have enough information yet to make a decision on this possible acquisition. We have a lot of questions we need answered before we could pursue this including how it will affect us financially, if this fits the overall mission of the school and if we can sell our existing property. We are working with a variety of professionals to evaluate the suitability of the property for Lincoln Academy. As we gather more information, we will share it with you, our community. (Please do not contact Maranatha during this time as it could affect any negotiations.)
Here are some upcoming dates:
