Corn Bible Academy is excited and pleased to announce that it has secured financing that will allow it to complete its 50,000 square foot school building in Clinton in 2021. CBA, which is currently located in Corn, has been in existence since 1902, but believes that the time is right to complete the move to Clinton where it will be better positioned to serve families along the I-40 corridor.
Corn Bible Academy's relocation process unofficially started in August 2007 with a few people meeting weekly to pray about the school's need to move to a central location. The school received its first donations for the project in 2011. The "Grow CBA" fundraising campaign officially began in 2013. Groundbreaking took place in April 2015 and the school board has built using cash up to this point. The campaign has steadily grown over the years with over $5.9 million raised to date.
Oklahoma Bank and Trust of Clinton will be CBA’s financial partner and Sawatzky Construction of Weatherford is the general contractor as they move forward to complete the nearly $10 million project. The building construction is currently about 65% complete. Keith Ventris, president and CEO of Oklahoma Bank and Trust, states "Oklahoma Bank and Trust is happy to support Corn Bible Academy and is glad to welcome them to the community. We are honored to help with financing for this project."
Corn Bible Academy serves students in grades 7-12, providing a quality faith-based education to students from all across western Oklahoma. CBA desires to be an asset to the region for many years to come.
