Dream Center Academy Christian School

About Dream Center Academy

The Dream Center Academy is a private Christian School and a One-Stop-Shop, Home-Away-from-Home Empowerment Zone that will provide programming and services geared toward holistically impacting and affecting the lives of youth, young adults and families that enter into its doors.

Although we are located within the Chickasaw Neighborhood we are not at all exclusive to that community, in fact with our New Day Ministries Safe Transportation Portal we will bring youth from the other 8 neighborhoods and Newburg to our facility so that our trained staff, teachers, and volunteers can change the trajectory of their lives. With there being so many gangs in the nine West End communities and parents being fearful of their child being a victim of collateral damage: caught up in the crossfire this is why the New Day Ministries Safe Transportation Portal is vital to keeping our kids safe and ensuring that on our watch they’ll have the opportunity to thrive in life and succeed.

The Dream Center Academy mission is all about Breathing L.I.F.E. (Love Inspiring Future Excellence ™) into the lives of youth and young adults who are Our Leaders of Tomorrow! We use a 4-L Approach (Listen to Learn to Love to Lead) which was given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit to Tod Moore while he was in prison. In this 4-L Approach when you Listen to someone as the Lord would have you to (intently) you can Learn the person as they share intimate and personal things about themselves, then as you truly Learn them you’ll know how to Love them the way that Christ would have you to and then when you begin to Love them that way 9 times out of 10 they’ll allow you to Lead them. “People don’t care what you know until they first know that you care.”

When you give at any level over a calendar year, you will receive: a spotlight in our Social Media; a personal Thank You from our Executive Director, Tod Moore; A framed piece of artwork from our star scholars; Dream Center Academy swag; Recognition on our wall of supporters at the school.

Below you will find how you can support our students here in the West End.

EMPOWERING
the future

  • This tier covers one high school student tuition for an entire year
  • Minimum Amount given: $7000
  • By empowering the future, we are stopping the cycle of trauma in our communities and instead putting our trust in the Lord. We are planting the seeds for the future to ensure an empowered community that overcomes systemic injustices. We are creating stability for our children who are five times more likely to have a parent or sibling incarcerated or involved in the criminal justice system.

ENGAGING
the hopeful

  • This tier covers one elementary student’s tuition for a year
  • Minimum Amount given: $5000
  • By engaging the hopeful, we take the light of the Lord that is present in each person and allow them to fully shine in all of their potential. We are enlivening our communities and opening the doors for all that is promised for us in the faith of Jesus Christ. WE are instilling hope in our children who are two times more likely to have witnessed, been exposed to, or been a victim of violence.

EDUCATING
the community

  • This level covers one student’s tuition for a semester
  • Minimum Amount given: $2750
  • Education and knowledge is one of the strongest and most resilient tools a human can have in their tool box to combat the cycle of poverty. Education and knowledge never stays with just one person, it spreads from person to person allowing them to rise up and lead. In our community in Chickasaw, children are nine times more likely to drop out of school. Meaning they will miss out on the opportunity to break the cycle.

ENRICHING
resurrection

  • One student’s tuition for a quarter
  • Minimum Amount given: $1000
  • When we enrich a resurrection, it means to set a soul aflame with passion. It means to feed the souls in all the right ways that leads to that person’s destiny. It creates a path that others can follow to find their own purpose and passion. We are combatting the 70% of black children in JCPS who cannot read at grade level.

"Love your heart and the mission of this Ministry to be the hands and feet of Jesus"

-- Amy

"I came to know Tod in 1999 when he was confined – physically, that is, but not spiritually. He was busy working for the Lord Jesus in the print shop as an inmate at Luther Luckett. It was evident that Tod was energetic, outgoing, and caring. He also had a vision of a ministry to be established once he was on the outside. Now that ministry is being fulfilled. Tod is genuine, and he is an overcomer in Christ Jesus. He has been where many others are - struggling with the temptations and consequences of drugs, fast-money, and violence. And he knows first-hand that there is a way through and out. He can lead others because he understands. He is effective because he shows others that Jesus is The Way. He walks the talk. We thank our Lord God for Tod, and are proud to support this ministry."

-- Rhonda and Larry Scantland

"Keep up your service Tod you are a BLESSING to many!!!"

"Tod in my opinion is the most caring, humble, loving man ever. He has been through so much and even though he is getting older he is just now getting started with bringing LOVE to the community. I love it!"

-- Terry Jr.

"God has something else for you to do. His servants our mobile not stagnant. When the Holy Spirit says move then you move. It’s better to obey God than man. Praise God for your sacrifice with many others that serve. Service is a life mission."

--Diana

Tod

I wanted to thank you for the impact you are making for the city of Louisville in your ministry to the Chickasaw neighborhood. Your vision impacts the children in the Chickasaw community at an early age. This education gives them opportunities to expand their options as they grow older, making an impact for future generations here in Louisville. Your love and care for this community is evident to everyone that supports you as well as the citizens that live in the Chickasaw community. You can count on us to help you in this ministry to make a positive impact in a city that needs a positive light in a violent period of our city’s history. Please let us know how we can continue to contribute to your ministry to Chickasaw.

--Craig & Becca Collins
