Celebrating 120 Years | A $12 Million Campaign
Restore.
Rebuild.
Reimagine.
For 120 years, God has been faithful to Louisiana Christian University.
Now we are giving toward the next chapter.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
The campaign begins with $1.2 million already given. Every gift moves us closer to $12 million.
"As we mark 120 years, we are not simply looking back with gratitude. We are looking forward with faith. Restore. Rebuild. Reimagine. is our shared commitment to the next chapter of LCU, and I invite you to be part of it."
A Bold Vision for Our Next Century
One clear vision for the future of LCU.
In 1906, Louisiana Christian University began in tents, with four professors and nineteen students who believed a Christ-centered education was worth building. From the heritage of Mount Lebanon and Keatchie, generation after generation of students has been formed here and sent out to learn, to lead, and to serve.
This campaign began with a single act of generosity. A friend of the university gave $1.2 million, and in that gift we saw the beginning of something far greater. Rather than meet our needs one at a time, we are inviting the whole LCU family into one vision: to give $12 million toward the future of this university, in honor of 120 years of faithfulness.
Three Directions. One Future.
Every gift restores, rebuilds, and reimagines LCU.
Our Financial Foundation
We are restoring LCU's financial stability and strengthening its footing for the years ahead. A stronger endowment and growing scholarship support keep an LCU education within reach for the students God sends.
Our Campus
We are rebuilding the campus where our students live, worship, compete, and grow. From residence halls to athletic facilities, we are meeting real needs so that our spaces serve students well for years to come.
Our Future
We are reimagining what a faithful, forward-looking education can be. By embracing technology and innovation, guided by Christian conviction, we prepare LCU students to lead with wisdom in a changing world.
Give In The Spirit of 12
The Power of 12

Your generosity, given today, strengthens LCU for generations.
A gift to Restore
builds a university on firm financial footing, able to plan its future with confidence and keep an LCU education within reach.

Ways To Give
Choose the gift that is right for you.
A multi-year commitment, in particular, allows you to give more generously than a single year would allow by spreading your gift across the life of the campaign.
An outright gift of cash, check, or card, given online or by mail
A multi-year pledge of up to five years
A gift of stock, securities, or other appreciated assets
A matching gift through your employer, which can double your impact
A planned or estate gift through our ministry partner, the Louisiana Baptist Foundation
A gift made in honor or in memory of someone you love
