School Notes

Mintz Christian Academy is a K-12 school located outside of Roseboro, NC. We are duly accreditated with the Association of Christian Schools International (ASCI) and COGNIA.

Mintz Christian Academy (MCA) became a reality because of spiritual visionaries from Mintz Baptist Church. The church received over twenty acres of real estate adjacent to its existing property in 2006. Discussions about its use for additional parking, a larger graveyard, a ball field, or extended church facilities were prevalent. Dr. John McBride, Pastor of Mintz Baptist Church, bathed the options in prayer. The church was thriving and his prayers led him to the concept of a "Christian" school. He shared his vision with his diaconate, other constituents, and eventually the church body. A Christian School Exploration Committee was formed, and the members spent months consulting, researching, analyzing, and discussing Kingdom education. The consensus was that a Christian school would be an evangelistic extension of the church, offer a solid Christian education to its student population, and would embrace the community, county and beyond in Christ-centered ministry. If Mintz Christian Academy was to become a reality, it needed a clearly defined purpose, vision, and mission. Its purpose would be to establish a Christian school promoting Kingdom Education and the nurture of the whole child-spiritually, academically and socially. Our vision was to give birth to the school and make it a reality. Now that Mintz Christian Academy is established, its vision is that students will come to a saving knowledge of Christ, will be daily transformed into His image, and will be fully equipped to be used of Christ.
On March 8, 2008, Mintz Baptist Church held a business conference. After a PowerPoint presentation by the "Christian School Exploration Committee" and a thorough discussion, the final decision was made to move forward with the birth of Mintz Christian Academy. Mintz Baptist Church hired Principal Joy McDowell in September 2008. Every step in the development of Mintz Christian Academy was nurtured in prayer, scripture and complete dependence on God`s guidance and leadership. Now the mission for Mintz Christian Academy was developed-to offer a nurturing Christian-based education on a solid spiritual, academic, and social foundation that will enable our students to walk victoriously in their adult lives.
In 2009-2010, Mintz Christian Academy held its first school year in the Mintz Baptist Church facilities accommodating grades K 5. It hired three full-time teachers, one part-time teacher, one part-time cafeteria manager, and one part-time art teacher volunteer. Student enrollment totaled 29. Several "firsts" occurred during MCA`s inception year-first website (outside webmaster hired); first Grandparent`s Day, first Thanksgiving day feast and program, first kindergarten graduation, first field day, first yearbook and first Operation Christmas Child (shoe boxes collected). It was an exciting first year in Kingdom Education as MCA started its Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) and MCA fundraisers.

In 2013-2014, grade 10 was added. The Academy moved into its new facilities at 2741 Mintz Road. Enrollment totaled 83. There were nine full-time and four part-time staff. The school`s first athletic director was hired. The first HOBY student leadership award was presented to a 10th grade student. MCA competed in its 3rd NC State Fair graphic design competition with two elementary winners, two middle school winners, and one teacher winner. The school participated for the fifth year in Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Collection (146 boxes collected). PTF fundraisers included the local Sorghum Festival and a "Christmas Picture" raffle. MCA sold over 1000 "diner" / "power" cards. The 3rd Annual MCA Golf Tournament and Krispy Kreme doughnut sales were other MCA fundraisers.

The cafeteria was completed, and most of the furniture and equipment were supplied by Fort Bragg. Two additional classrooms on the west wing (2nd / 3rd grades and 4th / 5th grades) were completed. A library was started and an assistant worked with story time and assisted students K 6 to check out books weekly. Elementary teachers began having a planning period each day while students were in art, music, P.E., computer lab or in the library. Assistants were added to assist in combination classrooms. The Truth Project was offered to staff for the ACSI Christian philosophy credit. This series was also offered to and attended by families, church, and community. The first MCA high school retreat was organized. The theme, Building Relationships, established the framework / set-up for the MCA high school Bible class, Understanding the Times. High school history classes took their first field trip to Washington, DC.

2016 MCA`s had its accreditation visit, received accreditation and MCA had its first senior accepted into a 4-year college /university. The transition into our new facilities did not change our vision or mission; it gave us authenticity. Mintz Christian Academy now looks like a school.

MCA now fulfills its vision of being a genuine Christian school-worthy of the trust of families who seek Kingdom Education opportunities.
