LONG GROVE, Ill., June 11, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — Dayspring Bible College & Seminary is thrilled to announce the renovation of a120,000-square-foot building in Long Grove, Illinois — a remarkable gift from a philanthropic corporation. This transformative project marks a major milestone in the college’s mission to equip Christian leaders for ministry and service around the world.
The Phase One renovation, estimated at $8 million, will modernize the expansive facility to include updated classrooms, dorm rooms, lecture halls, student gathering areas, administrative offices, and chapel space — all designed to foster a dynamic, Christ-centered learning environment.
To date, Quentin Road Baptist Church has already secured $2 million in pledges and donations toward the project. Another $4 million will be earmarked from proceeds of the sale of the existing Mundelein, Illinois campus.
Additionally, Dayspring has been blessed with a generous in-kind contribution, which includes furnishings and state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment valued at approximately $1 million. This gift will greatly enhance the functionality and beauty of the new campus.
“We are deeply grateful for this extraordinary generosity,” said Pastor Jim Scudder, President of Dayspring Bible College. “This building will be a cornerstone for Christian education in the Midwest — a place where students can deepen their faith, strengthen their character, and prepare to make an eternal impact.”
Pastor Mark Julian, Dean of Dayspring Bible College, added: “The Lord has clearly opened this door, and we’re excited to see what He will do through this facility. These renovations will allow us to expand programs, enhance student life, and equip more young men and women to serve Christ effectively in their calling.”
Construction on Phase One will begin this month, with completion anticipated in 2027. The building’s size and location make it a central asset for the growing student body and ministry outreach of Dayspring Bible College & Seminary.
Naming opportunities are available for those wishing to leave a legacy through the build-out of dorm rooms, lecture halls, cafeteria and other key spaces within the new campus.
