Outreach and Missions
At Wesleyan Christian Academy, we are committed to helping our students develop mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. We strengthen students spiritually and socially by giving them a chance to reach out to others in a variety of ways, encouraging them to put their faith into action. As James 2:17 tells us, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
