Mission Hill Christian Academy
Mission
The purpose of Mission Hill Christian Academy is to give the Christian parent an opportunity to obey the commands of Scripture "Train up a child in the way he should go..." and "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4). We exist as an extension of the Christian home in our society so the Christian parent will not violate the Scripture which says, "Cease my son to heed the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge" (Proverbs 19:27), and "Learn not the way of the heathen..." (Jeremiah 10:2). There is no way for the Christian, who is responsible for his children's education to obey the Scripture apart from a Christian education. Every subject taught according to the principles of and within the framework of the Word of God. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." (Proverbs 1:7).
