Capital campaign efforts are aimed at the construction of a 16,500 square foot classroom building with state-of-the-art laboratories for biology and chemistry. Donations have been received for one-tenth of the anticipated cost of construction. Alumni and friends of the academy are being encouraged to support this new venture financially. HCBA’s other divisions continue to play vital roles. Under the direction of Dr. Mark Martin, the Bible Training Center for adults offers Seminary Extension courses at convenient times for bi- vocational ministers and others who desire greater understanding of the Bible. The Chilhowee Retreat Center provides housing, meals and facilities for educational groups and churches during summer months. Thank you for the privilege of serving on your behalf in this unique educational ministry. Walter Grubb, President/Headmaster 68
