Paving the Way

PAVING THE WAY to a Vibrant Future for Our Covenant Community

For two generations, the Lord has provided for Covenant through the joyful giving of our families. We rely on the generosity of our community to make capital improvements to campus, as well as fill the gap of annual budgetary needs. This year's Paving the Way Campaign is our comprehensive funding strategy for both campaign and annual needs.

ANNUAL NEEDS

Tuition and other sources of revenue generation cover 96% of our annual budget needs, and we rely on gifts to fund the rest. Our annual needs include the Covenant Fund - annual operating support for the school's needs not covered by tuition - and Tuition Assistance - annual support given to Covenant students and families to make the Covenant education more affordable.

CAMPAIGN PROJECTS

In addition, we want to pave the way for even better experiences at Covenant by adding:

An East Parking Lot with about 70 additional parking spaces to accommodate visitors, student drivers, and a return of the "playground culture" where there is room to park and play on the playground while waiting for older children to come out of school.

Expanded Bleacher Space on Frank Miller Field to accommodate 400 more fans at games, for room for almost 1,000 fans, showing hospitality to our community and visitors. Completed Summer/Fall 2024.

A Security Welcome Center at the main (east) entrance where campus visitors are greeted and directed where appropriate.

CAMPAIGN PROJECT PROGRESS

In March and April 2025, the City of Dallas Planning and Zoning Commission and Dallas City Council met to review Covenant's application for campus improvements. Pending final City approval, we prayerfully hope to begin construction in May on the East Parking Lot, Security Welcome Center, and a new Scoreboard for Frank Miller Field. Construction should be complete by July 31.

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

As of April 2025, we have received $2,436,876 towards our $2.519M goal. We pray that the Lord provides, through His people, the remaining $82,124 this spring and summer.

FUTURE-MINDED PLANNING

Accomplishing our Paving the Way Campaign goals in 2024-2025 will pave the way to welcome our new Head of School, Melissa Hill, into her role with these projects completed, so that, together, we can tackle the much larger and more complex Grammar School Campaign and logistics planning. To discuss the timing of the Grammar School project or the Paving the Way projects and progress, please contact Director of Development, Holly Hook, at 214-358-5818 ext. 4515 or [email protected].

Our like-hearted community is dedicated to fostering a culture of Christian hospitality, belonging, and "love of neighbor." We want our spaces to be both safe and welcoming to guests. With the Lord’s provision, we are excited to tackle these campaign projects as the next step in our master campus plan fulfillment. Please prayerfully consider giving a gift to Covenant!
