Current Capital Campaign

Total Goal: $10,000,000
Raised To Date: $6,081,341

Purpose

In 1967, LBC converted the old gym into the library. It wasn't meant to be permanent, but it turned out that way. However, with the increasing enrollment numbers that we have been blessed with, we have now outgrown it. But all that is about to change. Lancaster Bible College is seeking to raise $10 million to build the Student Learning Commons – a facility that will become the ultimate gathering place, the social and technological hub, the living heartbeat of the campus.

In our building design, students will be able to walk in, grab a coffee
at the café, get a book, and relax in an inviting, collaborative learning space filled with natural light. In the core of the Commons will be the Charlie and Gloria Jones library, housing our current collection of over 200,000 volumes. There will be small conference rooms, classrooms, computer rooms, offices, and all the technology needed to power a new world of digital books, electronic periodicals and online learning that lets adult learners earn their degree from anywhere in the world, anytime day or night.

Upstairs will be the resources needed by today's students for tutoring, academic mentoring and the writing center. Additionally, this building will house the Oswald Chambers Reading Room, the only one of its kind in the United States which will house the Oswald Chambers Collection of our friend, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones.

While God's Word never changes, the delivery method does. The Student Learning Commons will help LBC continue to deliver the Word of God to students' hearts and minds for decades to come.
