Community Service
Bradford Christian Academy’s required community service program gives students the opportunity to apply their faith in practical acts of service to others. Students are required to complete 15 hours of service each year outside of school with an organization of their choice. By volunteering for churches, literacy organizations, elder service programs, and other charitable groups, students grow beyond themselves, expand their educational horizons, and experience the joy of giving to others. BCA students have worked enriching the lives of others within their own home churches in Sunday school, nursery and toddler programs, Vacation Bible School settings, in neighborhood nursing homes and retirement communities, in community shelters and food pantries, and for environmental, literacy, and outdoor education programs.
Short-Term Missions Project
This year fifteen BCA high school students will fly to the community of Batey Angelina, Dominican Republic on a short-term missions trip with BCA staff Sharon Ziegler, Doug Osterloh, Barbara Greenwood, Elizabeth Moreau, and Margaret Cottrell. Over February vacation, our students will build additional classroom space for a church and school sponsored by Compassion International. Students will also share their faith and participate in a Vacation Bible School program for the local children. Students are required to raise the funds to participate as well as extra money for the building supplies and Vacation Bible School materials. As we commission this group of dedicated young people, we ask for your prayers of support to cover them now and throughout their journey in this exciting service project.
