BUILT BY PARENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY

THE L.A.B. - BUILDING A LEGACY

We call it The L.A.B.—The Legacy Athletic Building—because it's not just about sports. It’s about stewarding the gifts God has entrusted to us and building a foundation for future generations. The Legacy Bricks and Benches will unite our past, present, and future students, families, faculty, and sponsors with custom engraving to lead the way to our new building.

TWENTY YEARS LATER

We are proud to have an incredible opportunity to add The Legacy Athletic Building (The L.A.B.) to our campus, lovingly built by parents and community partners! In celebration and in the spirit of legacy, there will be walkways and patios with engraved bricks at the entrance, and gathering benches for our students.

Legacy Bricks

As our students walk to and from The L.A.B. they will discover part of our school's history. A history of people who came together with a common goal; to provide Christ-centered education and live out the Great Commission of making disciples. They will find the names of alumni, favorite teachers and coaches, sponsors, and even their own names! Written on their hearts will be the wisdom and truth found in scripture that they see daily as they walk these paths. A beautiful way to leave a Legacy!

Legacy Benches

At Trinity Christian School we love to gather outdoors in community and fellowship! There are a few opportunities to purchase Legacy Benches to place around the perimeter of our new building for such occasions.

Each one will have a custom engraved plaque.

There are many ways to contribute the final touches on our new building. We still need contributions for training equipment, gym accessories, conference rooms for team meetings, and storage space build outs to keep our equipment safe from weathering.

Please contact any one of our Lions Club members with questions about how you can contribute to our newest addition on our campus.

Why We Build

At Trinity Christian School, our mission is clear: to honor God through the development of student-athletes who lead with character, compete with integrity, and serve others with joy.

Today, that mission is thriving. Our athletes are competing with excellence, our coaches are pouring into students, and our community is stronger than ever. Now, we have the opportunity to match that excellence with facilities that reflect the very best of who we are.

With the first phase of our new athletic facility already underway, we are halfway there. By coming together to finish what has been started, we will create a home that serves our athletes, families, and community for generations to come.

This is more than a building project—it’s an investment in the future of Trinity students and the legacy of Lion athletics. Join us in finishing strong.

When we care for the tools God gives us, we reflect the honor and excellence He deserves.
— Lions Club Leadership

What The L.A.B. Will Provide

We call it The L.A.B.—The Legacy Athletic Building—because it's not just about sports. It’s about stewarding the gifts God has entrusted to us and building a foundation for future generations.

The Lions Club's Project Lions Den, Building One

Building 1 (Near Completion):

  • Secure storage for all team gear

  • Offices for our Coaches and athletic staff 

  • Athletics Training Office for our sports medicine team 

  • Meeting rooms and collaborative space

  • A versatile, half-court year-round facility designed to support multi-sport use for all athletic teams with limited exceptions. The gym will also serve as a dedicated space for physical education classes during the school day, ensuring consistent access for students while relieving scheduling pressure on outdoor fields and the main gym.

The Lions Club's Project Lions Den: Building 2

Building 2 (Next Phase):

  • Dedicated wrestling and cheerleading areas for team training and PE classes. 

  • Permanent concessions and restroom facilities for visiting families and fans

  • Shelter from the elements so we no longer need to rent bathrooms, tents, or temporary structures on game days

  • Space that reflects the excellence and hospitality we desire to offer to every guest who visits our campus

TCS Lions Club's Project Lions Den Overview

These aren't just buildings; they represent a tangible commitment to the future of TCS Athletics. The first structure has taken shape, with the foundation laid and the impressive steel frame and roof now erected. The brick exterior and permanent signage have been completed, giving the building a strong and finished look. Doors and windows are currently being installed, and within a few weeks, our landscape will be in place—bringing the vision to life for everyone who steps on campus.

​​This next phase ensures our campus reflects the excellence of our mission—not just for our athletes, but for every guest, family, and fan who steps onto our grounds.

A Message from the Lions Club

 
This isn’t about the size of the building—it’s about the size of our heart for the mission.
— Lions Club Board Member
The L.A.B. is a reflection of what we believe about who our student-athletes are becoming—and the God they represent every time they wear the Trinity uniform.
— Lions Club Board Member

Where Are We Now

  • Building 1 is nearly complete! Thanks to generous donors, the foundation has been laid—literally and spiritually.

  • Now, we're inviting the TCS community to help us raise $1 million to finish:

    • The interior build-out of Building 1

    • The full development of Building 2, including critical features like indoor space, restrooms, concessions, and specialized training areas.


Why Your Gift Matters

This is about more than bricks and beams. It’s about creating a space that honors God, serves our athletes with excellence, and welcomes our guests with joy and hospitality.

Your gift will help provide:

  • A dedicated indoor space for wrestling, cheerleading, and off-season training

  • Home court space for matches and events currently held off-campus

  • Permanent restrooms and concessions for families and visiting teams

  • A physical environment that reflects the spiritual values we uphold on every field, court, and mat

We believe excellence honors God—and our facilities should reflect the care and calling behind our mission.

How You Can Help

Every gift moves us closer to a space that reflects our heart and mission. Whether you're part of the TCS family, an alum, a local business, or a friend in the faith—we invite you to sow into this legacy.

Our Immediate Goal: $500,000

We know that big numbers can feel overwhelming—but we also know what God can do when a community rallies together in faith.

While the total cost to fully complete The L.A.B. may be more, our immediate goal is to raise $500,000. This will allow us to:

  • Finish the interior of Building 1

  • Begin critical work on Building 2

  • Install key features like bathrooms, concessions, and indoor training areas

Because this project includes generous donations of time, materials, and in-kind gifts, our financial needs continue to shift. But what hasn’t changed is our commitment to honoring God through excellent stewardship of all He’s provided.
