History Central Christian Academy (CCA) was founded in 1975 as a ministry of Central Assembly of God Church of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
In early 2005, Central Assembly of God decided to close the ministry no later then the end of the school year.
With this situation, the parents of Central Christian Academy organized, prayed and were moved to become an independent, non-profit ministry.
The school was renamed to Covenant Christian Academy of the Lehigh Valley and after a relationship was established with Calvary Wesleyan Church of Bethlehem, the school opened on the Calvary campus in August of 2005. In 2019, the school relocated to the campus of Emmanuel EC Church in Bethlehem.
