Forward In Faith
More students. More opportunities.
The Forward in Faith capital campaign is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to affirm our commitment to Christ-centered education in Northeast Ohio. The campaign has transformed the physical facilities at Lutheran West, with the addition of over 36,000 square feet to our campus! Now, we’ll continue moving forward in faith as we expand and elevate the student experience through Centers of Excellence.
Construction on the building expansion is complete, but the fundraising campaign will be ongoing. The Lutheran West community can make a difference in the expansion of academic and extracurricular Centers of Excellence by continuing to support Forward in Faith with financial donations.

Centers of Excellence

A Campaign for Generations
In October 2022, members of the Lutheran West community gathered to celebrate the announcement of the new Senney Enterprises Business & Entrepreneurship Academy, along with the demolition of the Westgate Professional Building, marking a new era of growth and expansion for the school. Construction progressed steadily from 2022 through mid-2024, enabling 36,000+ square feet of epxanded academic and extracurricular spaces to be ready for the 2024-2025 school year.
