Introducing the 2026-2027 School Year Theme: Hospitality

Hospitality is not just greeting strangers at the door. It's about welcoming others as Christ has welcomed us. It's taking the extra step from a polite "hello" to making every person feel like they truly belong.

Romans 15:7 reminds us why we welcome others: because Christ welcomed us.
Romans 12:10–13 shows us how to live that out: through love, honor, service, prayer, generosity, and intentional hospitality.

Join us in prayer for our school community that we will strive to be a reflection of Christ's welcoming love.

Buckle up for some exciting news!

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to make JCA an accessible Christian education for our families. This spring, we launched our "Drive Our Future" campaign to purchase a new school bus for the 2026–2027 school year.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we officially crossed the finish line! We are deeply grateful for these funds, which prepare us to further provide reliable cross-campus transportation.

Thank you all for being along for the ride at JCA!

Only three Mondays until our hallways are filled with students again!

As we count down to the first day of school, we're throwing it back to 2010 first day of school. That day began the same way we still begin each day today: gathered together in chapel, worshipping the Lord.

Throughout the years, we've been blessed to watch generations of students learn, grow, and discover God's purpose for their lives. We can't wait to welcome another year of JCA students through our doors very soon!
