Castalia College Tour 2020

UPDATED March 13, 2020: Castalia College Tour 2020 is CANCELED

Dear parents, students, and chaperones:

As you all know, the entire world is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

Shortly ago, Pastor Walker decided that it is in everyone’s best interest to cancel this year’s college tour and refund everyone’s payments. This may take about a week or so to fully execute, so we appreciate everyone’s patience as we ensure everyone is properly refunded.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Bro. Meka Egwuekwe (contact details on page 2 of the application).
