​Building a Legacy of Faith

There are moments in history when God places a vision in the hearts of His people that is greater than a building, greater than a ministry, and greater than a single generation. We believe this is one of those moments.

For nearly two decades, Gideon Academy has been committed to raising young men and women who know God, love His Word, pursue excellence, and live lives of purpose. Today, God has placed before us an extraordinary opportunity to build a permanent Christian education campus that will serve the families of Kern County and reach generations yet unborn.

This is more than new construction.

It is the foundation for future missionaries, evangelist, pastors, preachers, teachers, educators, business leaders, first responders, military personnel, mothers, fathers, and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

It is a place where children will learn that Christ is the center of every subject, every decision, and every dream.
It is a place where faith will be strengthened, lives transformed, and destinies forever changed.

A Legacy That Will Outlive Us

Long after our names are forgotten, children will walk this facility learning the Word of God.
Families will gather in worship.
Students will discover their God given talents and purpose.
Young people will be equipped to stand for truth in an ever changing world.

Every classroom built...
Every prayer prayed...
Every Bible lesson taught...
Every soul influenced...                                                                                                                                                                                               Every student convention hosted...


...will become part of an eternal legacy.

Why We Need You

Throughout Scripture, God accomplished great works when His people united together in faith.

Just as the Israelites brought their gifts to build the Tabernacle...
Just as Nehemiah rallied families to rebuild Jerusalem's walls...
We are inviting individuals, families, churches, and businesses to become partners in building something that will impact eternity.

Your sponsorship is not simply funding a building plan.

You are investing in children.
You are investing in families.
You are investing in the Kingdom of God.


Imagine the Impact

Imagine students walking across this campus each day.
Imagine classrooms filled with prayer before every lesson.
Imagine a gymnasium where character is developed alongside athletic ability.
Imagine a performing arts center where gifts are used to glorify Christ.
Imagine a 24-hour prayer room where generations seek the face of God.
Imagine thousands of lives being changed because someone chose to invest today.

Be Part of the Story

Every gift—large or small—moves this vision forward.
Every sponsor becomes part of a testimony that future generations will celebrate.
Together, we can build more than a campus.

Together, we can build a legacy of Christian education that will stand as a beacon of hope for Kern County and beyond.
When our children and grandchildren ask who believed God for this vision, may the answer be:

"We did."

Because God sent disciples to speak prophetically over Gideon Academy,

       "Enlarge the place of thy tent..."  1260 Shafter Rd, 5.30.2026 - Amy Swift

      "Don't second guess or ask how, Just have Faith" Holland Michigan, 6.4.2026 - Jorge Correa

So we are responding in faith.

Our Commitment

We believe this campus will become a place where:

  • Souls will be saved
  • Faith is strengthened.
  • Academic excellence is pursued.
  • Biblical truth is uncompromisingly taught.
  • Leaders are developed.
  • Families are strengthened.
  • The Gospel is proclaimed.
  • Lives are forever changed

This is not simply our vision.

This is our legacy.

And with God's help—and faithful partners like you—it will become a reality for Kern County, California, and far beyond.
