Powered by the Minuteman Fund
To help Central's donors provide practical assistance for campus projects, Central is launching "Manna Projects." This platform, powered by The Minuteman Fund, encourages friends of the College to enhance the campus locations and strengthen student retention efforts.
Minuteman donors have been on the leading edge of supporting Central for many years. Central invites students, alumni, and parents to join forces with this historic group to meet unexpected campus needs. As many people come together to support these Manna Projects, it will be like the manna provided by the Lord for the Israelites.
Your support of Manna Projects brings these key benefits:
Responsive Giving - Donors who participate in The Minuteman Fund have demonstrated prompt and timely gifts when a need arises. As a new Manna Project is identified, these donors are notified and asked to contribute immediately.
Tangible Improvements - Manna Projects bring practical and visible improvements to the campus. The Minuteman Fund brings specific enhancements to benefit students.
Donor Engagement - “Minutemen” are strongly connected to the College and its needs. They want to see the direct results of their contributions and understand their impact on the lives of students and the campus community. Manna Projects invite them to support their passions and interests.
Agility and Flexibility - Manna Projects are smaller in time and cost, making them able to be accomplished in a timely manner. Emerging needs receive priority attention.
Collaborative Decision-making - The College’s leaders listen to input from students, staff, and supporters for potential Manna Projects. Donor feedback helps shape decisions about future projects to be funded. (You are invited to give your input at the bottom of this page.)
The Minuteman Fund demonstrates the power of collective giving and the college's commitment to continuous improvement for its students. It symbolizes the strong partnership between the college and its donors to positively impact campus life through meaningful Manna Projects.

CURRENT PROJECT: Amplifying the Sound of Purpose with All The Earth
Some moments stay with you. A quiet verse before a bold chorus. Students sharing their testimony between songs. A youth group gathered at the front, not because someone begged them to, but because the Spirit moved. Central's student worship band All The Earth was designed to facilitate moments like these, based on Psalm 66:4, "All the earth will worship You and sing praise to You."
Right now, your help is needed to make those moments ring louder and clearer than ever. All The Earth represents Central by traveling to churches, youth events, and camps and inviting young people to discover their calling. Taking the Gospel on the road is not just about them playing music together. They carry the mission and help create the moments. And now they need equipment that will help amplify that mission.
🎤 The Need: $14,300 for Essential Sound Gear
This Manna Project will purchase the critical equipment this team needs to lead with excellence:
- Professional-grade microphones, portable speakers, and a travel-ready drum set
- Upgraded technology that will also serve the weekly student-led "Thrive" service on campus
- Durable equipment for SEAL Quest Saturdays, an immersive, on-site event where teens discover eternal purpose through the lens of Service, Experience, Academics, and Leadership
These investments don't just make events sound better. They help students lead better as worshipers and examples of what it means to live with purpose.
Would Your Church Host All The Earth?
Your gift today doesn't just fund equipment, it fuels ministry in motion. If you are a pastor or youth leader, contact me to find out how All The Earth and a SEAL Quest Saturday experience can come to your church. It will encourage your students and shape their future to benefit the Kingdom.
For now, can you give towards the $14,300 needed to better equip this group of student leaders? You can give at the link below.
Every microphone, every speaker, and even every cable will serve a purpose far beyond the stage. It will serve young people seeking Jesus and equip students who are learning to lead.
