Tim Tebow Will Speak at LCA Fund-Raiser

Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow will be the featured speaker at Immanuel Baptist Church on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 4 p.m. as Lexington Christian Academy kicks off its 30th anniversary celebration and hosts its largest event benefitting the school’s annual fund.

Tickets are available to the general public and range in price from $50-$125.

Tebow, who is currently signed to play baseball in the New York Mets organization, is also a college football analyst for the SEC network.

Tebow played quarterback for three years in the NFL for the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and New England Patriots.

He is the author of two books, “Through My Eyes,” which was named the No. 1 sports book of 2011 and the bestselling religion book of 2011, and “Shaken: Discovering Your True Identity in the Midst of Life’s Storms.”

Tebow’s presentation will focus on faith, service and excellence. The former first-round NFL draft pick is active in a variety of philanthropic activities through his Tim Tebow Foundation.

Tebow grew up the son of missionaries. After his family moved to Florida, he returned to the Philippines as a teenager to share his Christian faith and serve the needy.

As a starting quarterback for the University of Florida, he led the Gators to two national championships. He won the Heisman trophy in 2007.

“Having someone of Tim’s faith, background and spirit for the Lord make himself available to share his moving testimony with our community is truly a blessing,” said Mark D. Sisk, LCA’s Head of School.

“We’re looking forward to hearing Tim share his message of faith, service and excellence in January, to what I am sure will be a standing room only crowd.”

Founded in 1989, LCA has grown into a large, sought after, independent Christian school. With a strong sense of community and a clear direction as a covenant school, LCA quickly outgrew its original space provided by seven local churches.

LCA transformed a former tobacco processing plant into the Rose Campus, which consists of 200,000 square feet of educational space and 75 acres, housing the institution’s high school, junior high and the new 6th Grade Academy.

LCA’s elementary campus is housed at Immanuel Baptist Church at 3100 Tates Creek Road.
