Service is an instrumental part of who we are here at CCA.
The Bible tells us that God remembers our service toward others and will reward us, and that we are to use whatever gift we have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. There are a variety of service opportunities at CCA to fulfill our call to service.
Community Service (Gr 6-12)
CCA’s goal of Community Service is to encourage and promote a giving spirit in all our students. Community Service is incorporated into our Bible curriculum. The minimum number of required hours for Grades 6-8 is 20 hours per year, and for Grades 9-12 it is 25 hours per year.
Each year, more students exceed the minimum hours required and qualify for the Presidential Service Award, which is presented on Class Night at the end of the year. These hours are to be earned by students in service outside of CCA in their own communities (e.g., churches, neighborhoods, other organizations). However, CCA also provides several opportunities for students to earn hours through Community Outreach programs, which encourage students to take pride in being Servants of God.
Senior Mission Trip (Grade 12)
Each year, the Senior Class culminates their high school experience with a short-term overseas mission trip in partnership with SCORE International. This trip provides seniors with an opportunity to deepen friendships and grow in their Christian faith. The goal is to engage students in fulfilling the mandate of Jesus in Acts 1:8, to “be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
During the trip, students actively participate in a variety of ministry projects, including:
* Evangelizing the lost through musical presentations, skits, dramas, street evangelism, and tract distribution
* Serving the needy by distributing food, healthcare, shoes, and clothing
* Serving orphans through orphanage work
Other mission-related projects have included:
* Painting and construction work
* Financial support for a SCORE missionary
The Senior Mission Trip is CCA’s final step in pointing students toward a life-long devotion to God and fulfilling the Great Commission. For some, this trip has inspired a calling to full-time missions.
Community Outreach
Ephesians 2:10
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
In keeping with our Christian mandate, it is a priority of Christian Central Academy to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our community. We have partnered with several local agencies to meet various needs throughout each school year. We also have rapid response services to meet national and international needs as crises strike around the globe.
- Leaf Raking Day
The entire school participates in our annual Leaf Raking Day each fall. K-5 students rake our own campus lawn, and the middle school and high school students canvas our local neighborhood to rake the lawns of homeowners. CCA prides itself on serving our community as Servants of God in this way.
Some of our local partners include:
We are continually seeking opportunities to serve locally, at home, and abroad, not only to bless those in need, but also to deepen our own faith and teach our students to share the love of Christ.
