PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE

 

History
Morgantown Christian Academy operates as a non-profit ministry of Faith Baptist Church. Morgantown Christian Academy exists to partner along with parents by providing a Christ-centered education through academic excellence and servant leadership to equip our students in their service for Christ. The school opened its doors in 1978 at the Richard Avenue location with two students enrolled in kindergarten. In the years to follow, elementary grades were gradually added to accommodate the increasing student enrollment. Faith Baptist Church and Morgantown Christian Academy moved to its current location in 1995. In the fall of 2006, a high school building was added to the church campus. A temporary building was added in 2016 to accommodate the school’s growth, and just recently, another temporary building was added to house the middle school. We have plans to build a gym and new classroom facility in the near future.
