LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
S ince high school at Legacy, Lauren Steffen ‘18 dreamed of one day moving to Nashville and working in the music industry. God
Lauren started the job by managing one of the merchandise booths for the TobyMac Hits Deep Tour in January of 2023. Her dreams were beginning to take shape.
DEAR LEGACY FAMILIES,
BRIAN BOVEE Chair
When the people of Israel crossed the Jordan river into the Promised Land, Moses instructed them to “build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones” - Deuteronomy 27:5. Altars were used by the Jewish people to remember God’s promises and faithfulness, and so it is no coincidence that we have laid stones that our students wrote on and prayed over under the foundation of our newest middle school education wing that is rising up on our campus as I type this letter. God has promised to be faithful IF we stay within His will and that is at the center of everything we do as a Board here at Legacy Christian Academy. As a leadership team, we have witnessed that truth in times of scarcity and uncertainty, and we have witnessed that truth in times of provision and harvest. It gives us the conviction to do our best to continue to seek His will and follow His ways as a school and as a community. There are so many exciting things going on at our school that could only be explained by the hand of God upon us and the faithfulness and obedience of His people... you, the students, families, and community of Legacy Christian Academy. So please join us in remembering God’s faithfulness to our school and to give Him all the praise and honor for the amazing school and community He has blessed us with at Legacy Christian Academy.

her good friends and fellow Legacy Alumni, Cali Weddle ‘17, mentioned a job opening at the merchandise company she worked for. This company manages all aspects of merchandise for many Contemporary Christian artists: from accounting, to inventory, to being on the road with the artist. Lauren decided to take the leap for her first job in the music industry. But God saw Lauren’s dreams as an opportunity for her to grow within Christian community while also stepping out of her comfort zone.
the road.
Lauren is forever grateful for the friendships developed during her time at Legacy and the relationships that have grown since graduating. Thanks to the connections that Legacy fostered like Cali, Lauren’s God-given dreams are coming true. “Touring with TobyMac pushed me out of my comfort zone. It was something completely new and unexpected. Something I thought was not even possible, was happening.”
