If you know any 8th or 7th grade parents who are considering their options for high school, invite them to join this event. Prospective parents can attend in person or virtually. In-person registration is open now at this link.

  • DRIVERS’ ED | We have made contact with District 205 to see if UCA students can take the class portion of Drivers’ Ed through the district. We are in negotiation with two private companies about the driving portion. Stay tuned for more information.

Community News:

  • The Immigration Coalition National Conference | “Have you or other Christians you know struggled to understand what the Bible says about the topic of immigration? In a society polarized by extreme and unhealthy views, what does it look like to daily live out God’s calling on us towards Immigrants, Migrants, Asylum-Seekers, and Refugees? In light of these questions, The immigration Coalition is holding “Healthy Understanding + Healthy Practice” - a virtual conference on October 22-23 to help Christians develop a biblical approach to immigration that respects the rule of law while evangelizing, doing justice, and showing compassion to Immigrants, Migrants, Asylum-Seekers, and Refugees. Come away with a renewed perspective that is biblically balanced and centered in Jesus Christ alone.”
