An Evening of Storytelling and Song with Steven Curtis Chapman

Benefiting the Next Generation of Leaders at Franklin Classical School

About

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the breathtaking Southall Farm & Inn, where elegance, hospitality, and purpose come together in the most extraordinary way. Adult-only guests will enjoy a Michelin‑star–rated dinner crafted by Southall’s renowned culinary team, followed by an intimate program of storytelling and song with Steven Curtis Chapman, the most awarded artist in Christian music history and the first Christian musician ever inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. With more than 60 Dove Awards, five GRAMMYs, and fifty No. 1 singles, Steven’s music has shaped generations — and his heart for ministry and family shines through every note.

This event at Southall is not simply designed as a concert or a luxury dinner—though both will be beautiful. It is, at its core, a celebration for those who share a passion for the formation of raising up Christain leaders. Those who gather are not merely wishing for a better tomorrow—they are doers, putting their convictions into action by investing in the kind of Christ‑centered education that shapes hearts, minds, and futures. With a pair of seats beginning at $3,000—the average scholarship at Franklin Classical School for a student in need—the pricing is anchored in the impact it makes on a child’s life. Every seat truly matters, as we will fill the room with chairs representing the children whose lives are being shaped through Christ‑centered education and raised up as tomorrow’s leaders. This unique event also gives you the opportunity to name a scholarship and write a prayer to the student who will receive it.

The event is simply the setting - the real purpose is the next generation.

Registration options

Scholars Bundle (Seating For Two, Shared Table)

$3,000

The Scholars Bundle (seating for two adults) will be placed at shared tables that seat a total of ten guests. The Scholars Bundle is intentionally designed because every pair of seats funds the average $3,000 scholarship awarded at Franklin Classical School. Each Scholars Bundle directly makes one of these awards possible.

Our staff will thoughtfully select the student recipients of all scholarships, and both the donor and the student will remain anonymous. As part of this meaningful opportunity, each Scholars Bundle duo will have the privilege of naming their scholarship—for example, The C.S. Lewis Scholarship for Truth—and writing a brief prayer or word of encouragement. Our team will ensure that the student receives this blessing as they enter the 2026–2027 academic year.

Please note that Scholars Bundles are seated together as a pair at shared tables. While we will ensure the two of you are placed side‑by‑side, all other seating preferences cannot be guaranteed. The meal will be served family style, with beautifully plated dishes set out for the table—fostering a warm, communal setting where guests can savor each course and build new connections.

Front Row Scholars Bundle (Seating for Two, Shared Table)

$6,000

Our Front Row Scholars Bundle offers premier seating for two just steps from the stage, where you and your guest will be seated side by side and placed with other attendees at a beautifully set table of ten for a shared, family‑style meal. Because each seat represents the $3,000 average scholarship award, each of you will have the opportunity to name a scholarship and write a prayer or word of blessing that will be anonymously shared with the student who receives it. With seats positioned closest to Steven Curtis Chapman—one of the most celebrated artists in Christian music—you’ll experience an unforgettable evening while directly impacting a child’s life through Christ‑centered education. You’ll be part of a table of ten, enjoying the evening together, sharing a communal meal, and making new friends along the way.

Limited Time: Premium Table Sponsor, Front Row (Seating for Ten Adults)

$30,000

For a limited time, we are reserving this option for a full table sponsorship (seating for 10) on the front row before opening this table to individual seats to the broader community. This early window is perfect for corporate sponsors who want to offer an unforgettable experience to their team, as well as for groups of friends or family who wish to pool resources and secure an entire table so they can enjoy the evening together.

There is purpose behind every chair: the $30,000 represented here reflects ten students receiving the average scholarship at Franklin Classical School. Premium Table sponsors also have the privilege of naming ten individual scholarships—such as “The C.S. Lewis Scholarship for Courage” or “In memory of…”—and anonymously writing a prayer or words of encouragement for each student recipient for the 2026–2027 academic year. Every seat at this distinguished table symbolizes a child whose access to a Christ‑centered education is being made possible.

Your table will receive exceptional placement near the stage, along with the option of Title Sponsor recognition through our event marketing and Franklin Classical School’s social media platforms, should you wish to be acknowledged. From this beautifully positioned setting, you and your guests will enjoy the best view of an intimate performance by Steven Curtis Chapman, accompanied by a family‑style meal with beautifully plated dishes to share.

Limited Time: Table Sponsor, 2nd Row (Seating for Ten Adults)

$20,000

For a limited time, we are offering full table sponsorships (seating for 10) in the second row of seating near the stage before releasing individual seats to the broader community. This early window ensures that those who wish to host a complete table of guests—whether corporate groups or families and friends gathering together—have the first opportunity to secure their seats.

Becoming a Table Sponsor (seating for ten) offers a meaningful opportunity to support Franklin Classical School while hosting the ten adult guests of your choosing for an unforgettable evening. Your table for ten will be beautifully reserved exclusively for your group and placed just behind the front row of tables near the stage—an ideal vantage point for experiencing an intimate performance by celebrated Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman. Your $20,000 sponsorship represents a little more than six full scholarships and together, your table has the privilege of naming these scholarships and writing a prayer or blessing over the students who will anonymously receive them for the 2026–2027 academic year. The meal will be enjoyed family style, with beautifully plated dishes for the table to share.
