Forging a New Path
As Accredited members of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, Evangelical Christian Academy benefits from the ability to use some of their national promotional products.

Read MoreDon’t Miss the Blessing!
Evangelical Christian Academy has officially been part of the Classical Christian education (CCE) community since 2009. Even though we have had this relationship, it is still challenging to convey the essence of CCE! In this blog you will find a link to the short 19 minute movie entitled Geronimo, Amen! Part 1.

Read MoreWhy do I run? Why do I race? What prize do I seek?
Many of you have congratulated me on finishing the American Discovery Trail Marathon earlier this month. I really do appreciate the care and concern that many have expressed for me. This being only my second marathon, the fact that I did this one 36 years after the first and improved my time is quite gratifying! My affinity…
Read MoreRedemptive Rhetoric – A Classical Christian Necessity!
Rhetoric is the art of persuasive speech. When the subject of Rhetoric is fully understood, an ECA student is apt to be drawn to the truth, goodness, and beauty of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Read MoreECA: Acknowledging God and Training Up Children in His Ways
As I hear from parents who have children enrolled in ECA, one common thread seems to be more important than anything else: “to train up children in the way they should go” and help them “to acknowledge God” in all aspects of life. Let’s take a brief look at three verses which support these concepts,…
Read MoreIs ECA Welcoming Enough?
At ECA, we desire to be a welcoming place! But it is becoming increasingly challenging to find like-minded Christian families to partner with our school: In a denigrating world, more families are becoming curious about the Christian moral high road, which seems like a naturally better way to educate and raise their children. In their…

One of the privileges of being a part of a Christian school is the weekly opportunity to participate in a chapel service.
