Mission & History

Christian Core Academy was established in September, 2007 by a group of parents with the vision of a school that had two main tenets: to provide a strong academic base and to reach the core of students’ hearts with the transforming power of Jesus Christ. CCA opened their doors with 3 staff members and 18 students, renting space from a local church. Over the past 15 years, CCA has grown to 15 staff members and educates approximately 70 students a year.

Why CCA

REACHING THE HEART

And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 11:19

So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away – look, what is new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17

A regenerated heart is the starting point for living the Christian life. CCA staff points our students to Christ in every aspect of their education as the source of new life, new thinking and new behavior as well as the source of their identity. In essence, we are not interested in raising moral students who conform because of pressure, but students who have an authentic relationship with Christ and live from their identity in Him.

TRAINING the MIND

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
Rom. 12:2

Wrong thinking produces wrong conclusions. CCA staff trains the minds of our students using God’s truth about themselves, their fellow humans and the world around them. Challenging academic content and a comprehensive Christian worldview Bible curriculum allows our students to begin with a correct base in order to come to the right conclusions.

CHANGING the CULTURE

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting. Proverb 11:10

CCA staff works to impart God’s truth and His principles to our students so they, in turn, can impact the culture with ideas that are grounded in correct thinking.

TRANSFORMING the WORLD

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. Matthew 10:8

CCA as a school teaches our students to be Christ centered and others focused. We continually strive to have our students look beyond themselves and see how to minister and love other people.
