On February 23, 2013, San Diego Christian College celebrated the acquisition of its new campus in Santee, CA with a Dedication and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. The morning was full of excitement as students, faculty, staff, alumni, supporters, and friends were able to experience the vision of SDCC’s future. The event kicked off with a fly over from Aviation captain Denis Breslin and SDCC’s Flight Team followed by the ribbon cutting with remarks from SDCC’s founders, Drs. Tim and Beverly LaHaye and Shirley Peters, SDCC President Paul Ague, and Mayor Randy Voepel of Santee. During the ceremony, Dr. Ague said that he has come to believe “these things takes months, not days.” Those who had been a part of these plans were excited to hear the change from Dr. Ague’s previous refrain “these things take years, not months,” signaling a new era in the college’s history. Santee Mayor Randy Voepel, a friend of SDCC, was excited about the influx of Godly “human capital” that SDCC will bring to the city. Alumnus and morning emcee Matt Krause remarked that the day was “one small step for SDCC and one giant leap for Christian education.” SDCC hopes to carry Saturday’s excitement into the move scheduled for January, 2014. _______________________________ The Honoring our Heritage – Advancing our Future Campaign was launched in February 2011 as a part of the 40th Anniversary Celebration at SDCC. The campaign was publicly released after the Riverview complex became the potential future home of San Diego Christian College. To date, over 300 individuals have partnered with SDCC to help us reach this milestone. In February 2012 the Conditional Use Permit for San Diego Christian College was approved by the City of Santee and on May 4, 2012 the purchase of the new home of San Diego Christian College was finalized.
