Veterans Appreciation Chapel
Tomorrow

Please join us as we honor our veterans with prayer, appreciation, and student performances.  Our speaker will be Mr. John Martin.
Mr. Martin graduated from Marion Military Institute, The United States Air Force Academy, and the University of Southern California, and served as an Air Force fighter pilot until his honorable discharge in 1975. Mr. Martin created the Martin Family Foundation in 2001 to begin "giving back" to those in need and to promote the Christian faith. 
Mr. Martin is a true proponent of classical Christian education and coming alongside families who are raising their children to be ambassadors for Christ in all walks of life. He loves our country and is grateful for those who have gone before us to protect the liberties we are privileged to enjoy each and every day.

Colorado Gives Day
Colorado Gives day is just around the corner! 
On December  5th, Community First Foundation is sponsoring a day of philanthropy for non-profit organizations in Colorado. For the first time, Arma Dei is registered to participate. Based on how much money is raised across the state of Colorado, each participating organization will also receive a grant from Community First Foundation. What does this mean for Arma Dei?
  • Consider using Colorado Gives to fulfill pledges already made, or to make new commitments to Arma Dei.

Additionally, a donor has offered to match all new pledges or increases to existing pledges that are received by December 31st. This match is good for up to $200,000! Help us realize the full value of this challenge match!


This means that making a gift to Arma Dei through Colorado Gives will more than double your investment in the future of the academy!
