HOMECOMING

Summit Christian Academy

October 6, 2023 - 7:30pm Official Homecoming Program Featuring SCA Fall Sports

Welcome to Summit Christian Academy’s 21st Homecoming!

Did you know that the average lifespan of a Christian school is seven years? Christian schools balance the competing requirements of being a school, ministry, and non-profit business. Most operate with significant resource constraints in a culture that is increasingly hostile to the Christian worldview.

To what, then, do we attribute Summit’s success and longevity? Simple, because the Lord wills it. There is no other explanation for why Summit continues to grow and thrive. Throughout its 20-year history, our Lord has provided and cared for our school community in amazing ways.

We believe the Lord’s blessings act as evidence of his continuing desire to use our school and community of believers as part of his great plan of redemption. We are resolute in our belief that he wants “each and every” student to glorify him through their lives by helping people from every tribe and nation to know him and to enjoy him forever.

To this end, we want to partner with you to convince students that they are the Lord's workmanship and that he made them in his image for a reason, that he has deliberately gifted “each one” with particular attributes and interests to equip them for the works that he prepared beforehand.

Scott Mac Leod, Head of School

We are certain that if a healthy partnership exists between Summit, the family, and the local church, we can help every student get excited about who they are, and that this will motivate them to pursue the experiential and educational opportunities needed to become the men and women the Lord desires. Like Nehemiah and Esther, the Lord continues to seek those who are willing to serve and accomplish great things on his behalf.

As we enter our 21st year, remember that every dollar given, every volunteer hour served, and every prayer uttered is helping to develop the men and women the Lord will use to lead here and around the world. Thank you for joining us in this calling!

At Summit Christian Academy our mission is to partner with families by inspiring, motivating, preparing, affirming, challenging, and transforming our students so they are equipped, enriched and empowered to impact the world for Jesus Christ.

Welcome Home, Alumni This year’s theme, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOMEcoming, brings into focus not just tonight's event, but the home that Summit is and has been to so many. Summit is the nest from which many Eagles have taken flight. We are proud of how you’ve soared. You reflect Summit’s pursuits in faith, academics, athletics, the arts and service.

We are blessed to call you family. Welcome home, Eagles!
