About KKCA
Goals
The goal of King’s Kids Christian Academy is to help each child grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and creatively. All curricular and extracurricular activities are intended to help reach these goals as we strive for each child to feel a strong sense of personal worth. All of our activities are intended to show God as the creator of the world, Jesus as Savior of mankind, and the Holy Spirit as the producer of a climate of trust, respect, cooperation, concern, and love among teachers, parents, and children. When children leave King’s Kids Christian Academy, we want them to be assured that they are creations of God and are better prepared to be Christian citizens in our world.
Philosophy
King’s Kids Christian Academy believes in the sovereignty of God as revealed in the works of His creation and through His redemptive plan for salvation. The Academy is the cornerstone of the Thirty-Fourth Street Church of God’s ministry of providing Christian education for children of the congregation and the community. This is a way of carrying out the command to “Train up a child in the way he should go...” (Proverbs 22:6) and “...bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). King’s Kids Christian Academy is committed toward accomplishing this ministry and assisting parents in the spiritual upbringing of their children.
