Re-Focus: UCA’s Month of Spiritual Revitalization
“…If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). This month, UCA invites students, parents, staff, and community members to refocus on life in the Holy Spirit as he forms Christ Jesus inside of us. We will pay special attention to what it means to live a vibrant, healthy, Spirit-filled life in Christ, in preparation for the year ahead. Each Friday, we will introduce a new spiritual discipline to practice for the next week. All members of the UCA community are invited to practice these disciplines.
The culmination of Re-Focus will be the week of January 25 as we launch World Vision Ignite at Unity Christian Academy. World Vision Ignite will be a long-term program embedded into the life of UCA that, Lord willing, will provide transformative experiences for UCA students. More information will be communicated in the coming days including a modified daily schedule for Launch Week, the week of January 25.
January Open House
Show & Tell: it’s one of the first activities we learn in life. We have the opportunity to show and tell about UCA again this month! We believe the mission of Unity Christian Academy is more relevant and needed than ever. On Thursday, January 21 at 6:00 p.m., we will have our second open house of the year. Word-of-mouth is the proven best form of advertisement. If you know a family who is looking for high school options for next year, invite them to join us on the 21st. Registration is required for in-person attendance. Here is the registration link.
Survey Thank You
Thank you for your participation in our Accreditation survey that was sent out before Christmas break. Unity Christian Academy is officially a candidate for accreditation through Christian Schools International. This is a major step forward for our program. We received great feedback on the survey; thank you for your honesty and positivity, your voices matter! UCA is in a pivotal moment in our history. In the coming months, exciting information will be shared about the future of this organization. As pioneering families in this 3-year-old high school, thank you for journeying with us and being integral to defining what this learning community becomes.
Happy New Year and Christ’s peace,
UCA Administration
