The property is just north of Emmanuel Church and will expand the campus from approximately 18.5 acres to more than 20 acres, according to a spokesperson for the school.
The next step is to secure funds for the demolition of the building, which is unfit for renovation in its current condition.
“This action will pave the way for a revitalized campus environment centered around Emmanuel Church,” a spokesperson said.
