Over the last seven years under the leadership ofPresident Keith H. Ray we have repeatedly demonstrated goodstewardship of our resources. The old operational debt continuesto be paid down, and our modest endowment continues to grow.Campus improvements have created our best learning environmentto date.We have experienced significant growth and are nearing 1,300students. Best news of all, we have doubled our preachingand mission majors. We are in awe of what the Lord hasaccomplished in such a short time.The next ten years will be even more exciting. Our new visionand plan, Lincoln 2015, brings new challenges. Lincoln 2015 isthe most aggressive growth plan to date.Challenging NewsWe have nearly reached our maximum capacity and potentialwhere some of our facilities are concerned. Our unprecedentedgrowth comes with a price tag. Without increased facilities wewill have to cap enrollment, and this means turning studentsaway who desire to train for ministry.13The SolutionTo continue to increase the number of servants for the Church,we must build a new dormitory and additional classrooms.Our first project is the new dormitory, and construction hasalready begun. When funds are available, we will then start constructionon the new Seminary building. At that time, our existingSeminary building, Restoration Hall, will be remodeled forcollege classrooms.You or your church or Sunday School class can be part of thesolution by providing for one the following projects. Gifts of$500 or more to either of these buildings will be recognizedon a donor appreciation wall in the building you choose tosupport.
