When the school needed more space, the abandoned and vandalized Summerville High School campus was purchased in 1969 for $10,000 and still serves today as our campus. The high school was added in 1976 and a college prep curriculum was developed. over the past twenty years, the campus has been expanded several times to add playgrounds, parking lots, and a shop building. The elementary complex was added in the early 1980’s.

The “Little Red School House” in Soulsbyville was purchased for $7,555.00 and Mother Lode Christian began is first year with 33 students and four teachers.
