The Bethel Christian Academy is a ministry of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church.
As one component of the "the vision" which was conceived by the pastor Reverend Dr. R.B. Holmes, and embraced by the church's officers and congregation.
BCA opened it doors for instruction and welcomed its first class of 34 boys and girls on September 8 1992.
These children were enrolled in pre-kindergarten through third grade. Prior to the opening ceremony on Saturday, August 1992, twelve committees, under the leadership of the pastor, worked diligently to develop Christian academy that would provide an academically and morally sound learning environment for boys and girls of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
We still provide an environment that is conducive to learning; a staff that is sensitive to the needs of the children; and a well-balanced program that is child-centered, is academically challenging, and is based upon Christian principle.
Additionally, our aim is to provide a strong support system that will help develop God-fearing, law-abiding well-mannered and highly motivated learners.
Goal The Primary goal of the school is to satisfy the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social needs of each student.
The result will be the development of the whole person.
