“My Christian faith become wholly conscious when I started attending CCA in 5th Grade. It became a lifestyle.
I had to re-learn how to foster it when I moved to work in Washington, DC, which was harder and took more intentionality, than when I was in at CCA.”

“Over and over again in my life God has shown Himself faithful. Too often I have doubted and asked the question, “Is God really going to come through?,” but every time He is faithful. I could tell story of after story of his faithfulness. Jesus is worthy of all your trust. Trust Him and you will never go wrong.”

When Aurimas Petrikas reflects on his time at Christian Central Academy, he sees it as a pivotal moment in his life—an experience filled with new challenges, opportunities, and lasting memories. Originally from Lithuania, Aurimas spent 11 years in school there before transferring to CCA for his senior year. Moving to Buffalo, New York, for his final year of high school was a significant transition, but one that helped shape his future.

“Studying at CCA taught me to incorporate my faith into every area of my life. It is not something that I put on Sunday morning while I drive to church. My faith is who I am, and I pray that I shine His light to everyone I meet.”

He is precise and intentional with every teachable moment presented through His Spirit, His Word, and His people.”
