School Notes

  • Our purposes at Brentwood Baptist Christian Academy is to train children and adults in the worshipping arts (music, dance, art, and drama) in order to prepare them to become future leaders in worship; to give our adult leaders a means to pass on their knowledge of the worshipping arts to others; to nurture, encourage, and challenge individuals that need more focused study than can be given in large groups.
