United Christian Academy Foundation Light the Way Campaign
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. – Matthew 5:16
Foundation Mission
The mission of the United Christian Academy Foundation is to financially support the United Christian Academy by helping people experience the joy of giving of their blessings from God, through major gifts and planned giving and by being good stewards of the assets entrusted to us. We work to sustain the future of our Christian education through long-term funding sources such as capital campaigns, endowments and scholarships.
Ryan Kotula - Campaign Chair
The $100 million Light the Way Campaign gives us opportunity to invest in the transformational changes needed to achieve our vision of creating a complete educational experience for all our students, teachers, and families on a single campus.
There has never been a more exciting time in the history of United Christian Academy. God has made our mission clear. UCA’s mission to light the world with Christ- centered leaders has never been more important.
Our Cabinet
A volunteer Campaign Cabinet, consisting of a broad range of business, parents, faith, and community leaders, has been charged with responsibility for the $100 million campaign.

Our Project Partners
We could not do this on our own. We have assembled a team of experienced professionals – each exceptional in their field – but they will partner with UCA to build the new 210,000 square feet campus with ministry at its core.
Be Part of an Educational Legacy
For more than 40 years, a total of 104 years of educational experience between the three legacy schools, we have served families from 22 communities and more than 40 different churches and all denominations across the Twin Cities. UCA programs are centered around two elemental precepts: (1) Discipleship in Christ, and (2) preparation of a generation to be a shining light in the Kingdom of God
Development plans for the multi-phased project include:
| A new academic building will allow us to accommodate up to 1600 students | |
| Athletic Complex, Sports, and Playing Fields | |
| A multi-use theater seating 750 patrons | |
| Trades Building and Aviation Center include an aviation program that can help support the growing need for additional pilots | |
| Welcoming spaces that enhance learning, foster positive relationships, and strengthen our role as pioneers and leaders in Preschool - Grade 12 education |
