Giving to Build Today | Plan for Tomorrow

Today, we have the opportunity--and the responsibility--to expand our impact for generations to come. Construction on the new high school has begun, and we are on track to welcome students to the new high school in the fall of 2027. Momentum is building, but the vision will only be realized through the faithful generosity of our community. This is more than a building. It is a legacy for the next generation.

Your investment will strengthen academic excellence and spiritual formation, ensure DMC remains mission-strong for generations, and create capacity for more students and families seeking Christian education. Contact Head of Advancement Julia Veenstra at buildtoday@dmcs.org or (515) 252-2495 for additional campaign information.
