In 1978, the leadership of the Whistleville Christian Church were asked by the members of the congregation to have a daily school ministry for the purpose of educating their children in a Christian environment. Not only did they want their children to study math, science, and history, they wanted them to study Christ's character and learn how to implement godliness into their lives. For two years, the leadership prayed and prepared for such a ministry to begin. In the fall of 1980, the church-school was started. God continues to bless. Some of our early students now have their grandchildren attending the academy.
Barrow County Christian Academy is a integral ministry of the Whistleville Christian Church. The school belongs to Christ and His Church. The evangelist, elders, and deacons are ultimately responsible for the school.
