Life Christian Academy is a ministry of New Life Baptist Church, and simply stated, our goal is to provide Christian families with the tools necessary to instruct their children as the Lord would have them to.
It is our belief that to build strong Christians leaders, we must have strong family units.
As God designed it, the family should be the primary and most important social influence on children.
This is how the Christian values are perpetuated throughout generations.
It is through the family that children learn to submit to the authority of God by their submission to the authority of their parents, under the leadership of the father.
It is through the family that children learn the attributes of God as the parents strive to model and teach these to their children.
The family is also the first and best place for children to learn how to share the love of Christ, through caring for others in their family, in their church, and then in the community and through telling others Who has first shown that love and of the affect it can have.
It is through the family that children learn the most important things they will learn in life: how to live for God and how to bring glory to Him by doing so.
All other knowledge will enhance these abilities or inhibit them.
