Manna Projects
Powered by the Minuteman Fund
To help Central's donors provide practical assistance for campus projects, Central launched Manna Projects. This platform, powered by The Minuteman Fund, encourages friends of Central to enhance campus spaces and strengthen the student experience.
Minuteman donors have been on the leading edge of supporting Central for many years. Central invites students, alumni, parents, and friends to join this historic group in meeting timely campus needs.
The Minuteman Fund demonstrates the power of collective giving and Central's commitment to continuous improvement for its students.

Preparing Student Spaces for Fall
Every summer break provides just enough time to prepare the campus for the upcoming academic year. This summer is especially important as we prepare for a new name: Central Bible University. For more information, visit CentralBible.edu/name.
This transition includes a renewed effort to make the Moberly campus look and function in the best way possible. Three important summer Manna Projects need significant help from the Minutemen to be completed in time for August.
Soccer Field Restoration
$12,000The soccer field served the Saints well as the men's team competed and became conference and regional champions in 2025. Marked by worn patches and cleat marks, the field needs to be reseeded, rolled, and watered to meet competition standards.
This is especially important because, for the first time ever this fall, a Central women's team will take that same field, creating their own stories, team-building, and friendships. A blend of Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Rye will create a safer, durable playing surface, helping reduce injuries and providing a high-quality experience for all student-athletes.
Residence Hall Mattress Replacements
$8,500Although the mattresses in Lang Hall and Spurling Hall were recently replaced, the mattresses in Mabee Foundation Hall are now 22 years old and not at their best.
At a cost of $170 each, this project will provide 50 students with clean, comfortable beds in their dorm rooms.
Dining Hall Upgrades
$5,000The current charcoal grill is deteriorating and must be replaced. Health regulations now require a covered grilling space, so a permanent canopy needs to be installed for safety and efficiency.
New dishes are also needed to replace broken, worn, and missing tableware.
For generations, Central has been a place where seeds of commitment are planted through practices on the field, conversations in the dining hall, and friendships in the dormitories.
Will you make a gift to prepare the ground, the food, and the beds for this project? Your donation to these important student spaces will impact the lives of future kingdom workers.
