Bill McKinley’s Legacy Tribute
It is with a heavy heart that we share that Bill McKinley, former Superintendent for Christian Academy, went home to be with the Lord.
Words can only begin to express what Mr. McKinley meant to many of us by the way he served in different ways. He served as our system visionary, as a kind and compassionate leader, a mentor, mission trip coordinator, substitute teacher, the biggest cheerleader for our students and so much more!
We are comforted to know that he is in the presence of our Lord and Savior! Please keep his family in your prayers.
Mr. McKinley’s legacy tribute can be found here.
