The mission of Life Christian Academy is to offer Christ-based care and education for young children ages six-weeks of age through 5th grade. LCA is a school with a mandate from God to bring children to our Lord Jesus Christ.

The goal is to bring every child to a personal experience of salvation through Jesus Christ. In addition to the Spiritual focus, LCA will provide to every child an education that is environmentally safe, academically sound, emotionally balanced, and physically challenging, all with moral absolutes.

The Bible declares that “Children are a heritage of the Lord;” therefore, the teachers and staff of Life Christian Academy will be committed to providing a ministry of excellence in all educational programs.
