The Future
The plans to build a brand new, state-of-the-art Urban Campus in Memphis in 2011 came to fruition. The improvements and upgrades still go on to this day while academic life goes on around its ever-changing renovation. The school received a 3 million-dollar matching grant to move the campus into Downtown Memphis. The new urban campus is located in the renovated C&I Bank Building on 200 Madison Avenue, in Downtown Memphis.
According to a 2012 interview with Christian magazine "Greenville In One Accord," President Ken Steorts stated his desire for the future of the college as, "A series of small campuses around the world bringing worship leadership, music training, and equipping to young people on every continent in groups of 132 students and 20-30 staff in each location serving the local churches, expanding the realm of Christian scholarship, musical maturity, outreach, and ministry to bands and the public, and maintain a 'radical center' way of loving community and professionalism."
