Contexto:
Todo el aprendizaje adquirido por los niños y adolescents de los grupos organizados ha sido primeramente gracias a Dios ya que [él] nos brindo la oportunidad de contar con una institución donde el centro de toda acción es Dios.
Pensaba en traducirlo como:
... where the linchpin of any action is God? pero me parece un poco raro.
Sugerencias.

=
[the Lord] has placed at our disposal an educational institution where He Himself is at the very center of all we do.
I think that this would be very natural wording in the context of a Christian educational institution.

: I agree with the 2nd half... "He granted us" or "blessed us with an educational institution where... " is more appropriate.
