We are the
KCA WARRIORS
Meet Dennis Shaffer
Head of Schools
With over 30 years of experience in Church education and ministry, he is passionate about creating environments where students not only thrive academically but grow daily in their relationship with Jesus.
Our Values
Mission Statement
We offer an education centered on Christ, equipping students with the tools they need to make a positive impact in our community.
Luke 2:52 “And Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.”
Vision Statement
We are committed to partnering with families in our community by providing a safe environment for their children to grow physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually, allowing Jesus to be an integral part of their lives.
Our approach includes:
- Seeking the word of God for truth and using that for every decision they make.
- Developing a deep and rich prayer life, centered in a personal relationship with Jesus, fostering open communication.
- Cultivating emotionally healthy relationships.
- Building loving connections, using Jesus as our model, including those who may be different from them.
- Thinking critically, applying wisdom and truth to their learning, and discerning information rather than accepting it at face value.
- Actively engaging the community through service to others.
- Understanding their emotions and learning to use them positively in all situations.
Philosophy
Kingdom Connection Academy houses K-6th grade. Classes are small, allowing individual attention and opportunity to make friends and become part of the KCA family.
Curriculum
Your child will benefit from a strong academic foundation that emphasizes language arts, reading, writing, math and science. Bible classes are taught daily, with weekly chapel sessions for spiritual growth. Our licensed Christian educators integrate a biblical worldview into all subjects, ensuring our program exceeds state standards.
Community
Students actively engage in community service, reaching out to nursing homes, police officers, firefighters and veterans. They also support local food banks and shelters, learning the importance of serving others and making a positive impact on the world around them.
Enrichment
Enrichment opportunities abound, with classes in art, music, physical education, library and technology. Students also enjoy field trips and the chance to participate in competitions through the Association of Christian Schools International, encouraging both learning and personal growth.
Parent Involvement
Parents are invited to be active participants in their child’s education through volunteering, attending special programs and maintaining close communication with teachers. Weekly folders and regular school updates ensure parents are well-informed and closely connected to their child’s progress and school life.
Spiritual Formation
Christian education is the result of all knowledge being tested against, and integrated with, a biblically based view of God and the world (Colossians 1:16, 17; John 1:3). The entire process of education is seen as a means used by the Holy Spirit to bring the student into fellowship with God, to assist the student in developing the mind of Christ, to train the student in Christ-likeness, to teach the student to respond like God and to help the student demonstrate Christ-like character qualities so that he/she can fulfill God’s total purpose for his/her life personally and vocationally.
Benefits of Christian Education
- Students learn their identity is in Christ
- Teach Christ in every subject – incorporate Him in every part of life
- Smaller classrooms with rigorous education environment
- Character development of the whole person
- Develop a biblical world view based on truth
