What is KCA’s Educational Purpose?
Our desire is for Jesus to be in the center of every part of KCA and for the Holy Spirit to be free to move. The primary purpose is to glorify God within the school setting by:
- Providing opportunities for the students’ faith to be encouraged and strengthened by example, study, and prayer.
- Training children in obedience and discipline.
- Providing a curriculum with high standards, challenging each child to do his/her very best, “as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23).
Buildings, desks, books, rules, and regulations do not make a school. People gathered for the purpose of education make a school. People gathered in the name of Jesus make a Christian school. People gathered as servants of Jesus, under the liberty of the Gospel, following the guidance of the Holy Spirit find not only the finest education in a unique setting, but they become changed into the likeness of Christ. 2 Corinthians 3:18 expresses this so well: “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” We hope that this also excites you to want to be part of KCA — watching, yielding, and cooperating as the Holy Spirit works His life-changing miracle in you.
