“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
Annual Gift Giving 2014/2015 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:16 - From Our Senior Pastor WHAT’S INSIDE: I n most cases the students of MCA have parents who have made extraordinary sacrifices to enable them to attend Christian school. Often I am privileged to hear parents share their stories of how the Lord has provided the financial means to insure their sons and daughters continue the pursuit of academic excellence. The smile on everyone’s face at graduation speaks volumes of the satisfaction of their investment. At that ceremony I have never had anyone come and say to me, “I have no idea why we struggled so much to make this happen.” Actually, it has been just the opposite.

Peer pressure that is positive rather than negative is a strong motivating factor. MCA student atmosphere is overwhelmingly where students challenge each other to be stronger and more dedicated. all.” Public school parents often ask Christian school parents, “Why do your children go to Christian school?” Let’s look at that penetrating question for a moment. Indeed, why should one sacrifice to enroll their children in Metrolina Christian Academy? 4. Academic Excellence is certainly not the least value of Christian Education. Statistics prove that because of the student/teacher ratio and the quality of the instruction that graduates have a much higher SAT and better chance at life because of the higher standards that are set. 1. To guarantee the opportunity to obtain a biblical world-view. Students learn that the Bible shapes how we think about every realm of life, who we are, where we came from and where we are going. When you know those things then it enables one to walk through this life with great confidence. It impacts the decisions that we make, the vocation that we choose, the way we raise our families and how to confront the enemy. When the Bible becomes one’s basis for life then it affects your response to every area of life. Today, I praise the Lord for obedient parents who take seriously their role to “train up a child in the way he should go.” All the sacrifices, time, money, energy, commitment and inconveniences that you make to see your sons and daughters become mature servants of our Lord, trained and equipped to carry out His plan for their life will be rewarded. It may be a simple “thank you” from them or the ultimate “Well done, good and faithful servant.” 2. Teachers are our mentors during these formative years. What better mentor than knowing our sons and daughters are being impacted 35 hours a week by people who are filled with God’s Holy Dr. Mike Whitson Senior Pastor First Baptist Church Indian Trail Dana Bostic - Director of Advancement Shea Braswell - Assistant to Director of Advancement Sharron Cox - Advancement Support The Annual Report is a publication of the Advancement Office of Metrolina Christian Academy and is also available at www.metrolinachristian.org/Support MCA/ Annual Report.

These verses tell us when God writes the story it will be unique and special as evidenced by the question of “has anything like this happened before?” Verse three goes on to instruct us that it will be a story we will want to pass to the generations to come. Metrolina Christian Academy is such a story. There is no explanation for our school other than God. He has set this school apart for the last 23 years as a place that would train champions for Christ and seek to bring Him glory! God has written this school’s story throughout its history and it is indeed a special and unique place. God has given us an incredible spiritual legacy here at Metrolina. More than 2200 students have received Christ as Savior in our history and many more have deepened their walk with God while here. Additionally, God’s story for Metrolina has unfolded over the years into a strong and vibrant community of families who make up this school. As we look forward to the start of the 20152016 school year, I am so excited for all God has in store for us. Our theme verses for this school year will come from Joel 1:23 with the tagline of “What’s Your Story?” We want this school year to be about drawing students, staff, and families back to the idea of allowing our great God to write the story of our lives. God has so much more planned and in mind for our lives than we could ever think or imagine. My prayer is that we would allow God to write our individual stories and then in turn we would pass these God stories down to the next generation. Similarly, my desire is that the faculty and staff will continue to pass God’s story so powerfully off to our students so they will one day do even greater works for the Kingdom. The Annual Cornerstone Fund has made it possible for God to continually write His story here at Metrolina. This fund has done so by helping us to grow our program while still keeping our tuition affordable for the average middle class family. Once again, I ask you to consider how God might use you this coming year to support the cause of Christian education at Metrolina Christian Academy. We have a new two-building campaign called “Limitless” and we will shortly see the fruit of Phase One – Math and Science Building. However, the needs of our school are still very great and could be best described as God-sized needs. One of our top priorities now is that we press on towards raising the funds needed for the development and completion of the Phase Two - Fine Arts Building. I ask that you pray about how you might be involved in helping our school impact more students for the cause of Christ through the Annual Cornerstone Fund. Always remember that no gift is too small. From Our Head of School “Hear this, you leaders of the people. Listen, all who live in the land. In all your history, has anything like this happened before? Tell your children about it in the years to come, and let your children tell their children. Pass the story down from generation to generation.” - Joel 1:2-3 Thank you for your love and support! It is going to be a great year in the life of our school and I look forward to seeing you soon! Sincerely, Rev.

While it is impossible to tally the countless hours poured into our school through the efforts of our dedicated volunteers—parents, grandparents, alumni and friends; it is possible to say that their shared sacrifice and service made a difference in the life of our school during the 2014-2015 school year. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” - Ephesians 2:10 Thank you to all the volunteers for giving so generously of their time, talents and resources to minister to Metrolina Christian Academy. Whether in big or small ways, each volunteer blessed MCA and our students through their service. God bless you! 9 The many ways you help, from A to Z...

Each year our teachers and students are encouraged to find ways to serve our neighbors in outreach projects. Below are listed this year’s projects. The TK class made several visits to the FBCIT Boomers & Beyond group. The TK students sang and passed out seasonal crafts to the senior citizens. Kindergarten ministered to Mrs. Margie Berry and Mrs. Frances Williams by sending holiday decorations and praying for these widow ladies. First grade students wrote letters to veterans and created Butterfly Hugs. Second grade ministered to their high school reading buddies through cards and crafts. Third graders visited with the residents of Brookdale Assisted Living. They shared crafts, songs and scriptures. Fourth graders raked leaves for widow Jean Tomlinson. Fifth grade made its annual visit to JAARS Center where they provided cookies and Christmas decorations. They also performed Christmas songs for the JAARS members. Sixth grade students visited with FBCIT Boomers & Beyond group quarterly. The sixth grade also adopted the Oliveira IT team for the year. They prayed for them and gave them seasonal crafts/decorations. Seventh graders participated in a campuswide recycling program. They collected and delivered to the recycling center weekly, September through May. Eighth graders assisted FBCIT with backpack ministry once per quarter. The tenth grade Bible classes visited with the residents at Carillon Assisted Living. They read the Bible with them and sang songs to them. Eleventh graders acted as Reading Buddies to Lower School classes. “This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overf lowing in many expressions of thanks to God.” - II Corinthians 9:12 10 Twelfth grade spent a day sorting and packing shoeboxes at Operation Christmas Child. Sassy Sampler students made ornaments for the residents of Carillon Assistant Living and Woodridge Assisted Living Communities. Lower School Student Council assisted with the counting of pennies during the Penny Wars which was part of the Cornerstone Kick-Off. Christian Leadership students read with the students in the Early Education Center from the 2-year-old's through K4 every Wednesday afternoon.

The new buildings will add nearly 10,000 square feet of educational space for our students. The goal is to build debt free and have construction completed by 2017. (Phase 1 - Math & Science Building: Projected CompletionDecember 2015) The Limitless Building Campaign involves the construction of two new educational buildings that will reshape Metrolina Christian Academy’s campus, expand our community and enhance the quality of programs available for all age groups for many years to come. MCA has always been a place where we have seen our students soar academically, and more importantly, blessed to see God move powerfully in their lives. Our desire for the facility expansion is best expressed by the truth found in Proverbs 24:3-4 -“A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense. Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.” Please note: The donors listed below contributed to the Limitless Building Campaign from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
