How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
– Psalm 133:1, NIV
Pursuing Biblical Unity with God and One Another
At Christian Academy School System, we are pursuing a reality where every employee and student develops ultimate allegiance to Jesus Christ and Christlike camaraderie between one another, for God’s glory and everyone’s good.
Mr. Deon Parker
