WCA Missions Trips
Summer missions and cross-cultural trips for our staff and students have become an increasingly more important part of fulfilling the Wesleyan Christian Academy motto: To know and live the truth. This year, Wesleyan is offering our high school students the opportunity to consider one of three missions trips in the summer of 2015.
