Historic Milestone

Grayson, KY — June 24, 2025 — Kentucky Christian University (KCU) marked a historic
milestone today with a campus celebration honoring the complete elimination of institutional
debt and the public launch of its bold new capital campaign: For the Good of the Cause.

The event, held on the Grayson campus, brought together students, alumni, faculty, donors, and
community leaders for a ceremonial announcement, a moment of thanksgiving, and a renewed
commitment to the future of Christ-centered higher education.

“We have officially entered a new era of faithfulness, viability, and relevance,” said KCU
President Dr. Terry Allcorn. “Becoming debt-free is not the end—it is the beginning. This
campaign is about building forward with confidence and calling.”

The "For the Good of the Cause" capital campaign seeks to raise $7 million, with over $5 million
already received in gifts and commitments.

The campaign will fund three strategic priorities:

1. Eliminating University Debt – Achieved! The first $3 million was used to eliminate all
institutional debt, freeing KCU to reinvest in mission-centered growth.

2. Program Expansion – The next $2 million will support academic expansion, particularly
within the Keeran School of Bible and Ministry, reinforcing KCU’s commitment to
preparing students for leadership in the church.

3. Student Experience Enhancements – The final $2 million will fund vital upgrades to
student housing and shared spaces across campus, ensuring a transformative learning
environment.

The campaign embodies KCU’s dedication to its founding mission: equipping students to serve
and lead in the name of Christ. “God is moving in a big way at KCU,” Dr. Allcorn said. “And I
invite you to join Him in that movement.”

With a Christ-centered foundation and a clear vision for the future, Kentucky Christian
University is equiped to serve churches and communities for generations to come.
