  • The Village III adds 286 beds, supporting growth and residential recruitment.
  • Green Family gifts enabled The Village and Commons, proving fundraising execution.

What critics are saying

  • Enrollment nearing 1,000 strains housing; Residence Hall III completes only December 2026.
  • Dependency on Church of the Highlands donations creates concentration risk if giving slows.
  • A faith-specific ministry model limits employer optionality if church demand weakens.
