head of school’s message
O
ver the years of being at Metrolina Christian Academy,
one of the greatest blessings has been to see God’s
hand so evident on this ministry. In the last 21 years, we
have seen God grow this ministry dramatically from our
humble beginnings. There were 84 students and 19 staff
members in 1993 compared to almost 1,200 enrolled for the
2013-2014 school year.
The Annual Cornerstone Fund has played an integral part in
making it possible to expand the mission of Christian
education through this ministry. This fund has done so by
helping us to grow our program while still keeping our
tuition affordable for the average middle class family.
This year, my prayer for us as a school is that we will seek the
Lord as never before in all that we do. In my own personal
life, I want to be more focused on pursuing God and
following His direction for my life and this school. As a
school, I pray that we will always be distinctively Christian
and set apart by God.
Thank you for your love and support! Begin praying today
for the Lord to set this school year apart for Him so that we
might bring Him honor and glory in all that takes place. It is
going to be a great year in the life of our school, and I look
forward to seeing you soon!
Your investment in the Annual Cornerstone Fund has also

Because of Him,
I heard a distinguished church leader say not long ago that
“we as Christians must be willing to do whatever is
necessary to ensure that we hand off what should be our
mission for the Kingdom in better shape than we found
it.” My desire is that the faculty and staff of MCA will hand
off the cause of Christ and the passion to follow Him to our
students so that they will do even greater works for the
cause of Christ. This is truly our mission as a school.

the cornerstone fund
FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE
F
or more than 10 years, Metrolina
Christian Academy has raised financial
support through its annual fund, known by
most of our families and friends as the
Cornerstone Fund. Over the years, the
Cornerstone Fund has raised nearly $2.7
million to support Metrolina in training and
equipping young men and women to be
champions for Christ. Metrolina Christian has
truly been blessed by the families and friends of the school who have
given from the heart to grow its ministry.
A faith goal of $250,000 was established for the 2012-13 Cornerstone
Fund. And we are delighted to share that, at the end of our
fundraising efforts (the school’s fiscal year is July 1 – June 30), MCA
exceeded the goal and raised $282,401.22 for our students. We give
all the honor and glory to God!
On the pages to follow, you will read how the funds were raised and
invested, as well as the names of donors who gave generously and
sacrificially to the cause of Christ at MCA during the 2012-13 school
year. MCA also completed the development of the four fields located
at the Whitson Athletic Complex during the 2012-13 school year. We
remain grateful to the many donors who also gave financially to
support this project, which began in September 2010.
We are eternally grateful for every dollar contributed to Metrolina
Christian Academy, and we praise God for His provision! At
Metrolina Christian, we have always trusted God to supply our needs
and believe it is not how much we raise, but how well we manage the
resources entrusted to us. As you review this year’s Annual Report,
please be assured that the administration, faculty and staff of
Metrolina Christian pray to be good stewards of the trust you have
placed in us, both with your precious children and the funds you have
invested here.
MCA has once again established a faith goal of $250,000 for the 201314 school year. And we will continue to place our trust in God to
meet this goal, knowing He will be faithful to provide through the
generosity of many.
Thank you for giving and serving to make a difference for the
Kingdom. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Serving Him,

E
ach year, one of the many ways God supplies the
needs of Metrolina Christian Academy is through
the Cornerstone Fund, the school’s annual giving
program. The funds raised annually through the
Cornerstone Fund provide a strong foundation to the
continued growth of MCA’s ministry. By supporting
the Cornerstone Fund, you allow the school to add
the “extras” to many of its programs sooner than
they would otherwise be available to our students,
faculty, and coaches.
The Advancement Office annually coordinates a
variety of special events and programs to raise funds
for the school. The funds raised from these special
events and programs, as well as other designated
contributions received from donors, comprise the
Cornerstone Fund.

an outside stage featuring MCA student performances, and very reasonably priced concessions for everyone. For this year’s event, we had
another great turnout with over 1500 in attendance and raised $40,528.43 for the MCA Cornerstone Fund and designated school groups.
We thank the following family and friends of MCA, who through their generous contributions and purchases at the live and silent
auctions, made this event a success:

In a two and a half year period (September 20, 2012 - April 18, 2013), God has used many to help build the 1.3 million dollar outdoor athletic
complex and to build it debt-free. We are eternally grateful, and praise His holy name!
Thank you to the following donors who contributed during July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2013 to make it possible to bring our Warriors home!
WARRIOR FOUNDERS CLUB
The goal of the Founders Club is to identify 100 people who will donate $2,000 to support the development of MCA’s outdoor athletic facility.
After the goal of 100 members is reached, the Founders Club will no longer be open for membership. Membership includes recognition on
Founders Club sign located at the Whitson Athletic Complex, four (4) lifetime season tickets to all MCA home sporting events, and two (2)
Metrolina Christian Academy polo shirts. Currently, there are fifty-two (52) Founders Club members.

OUR HEARTS AND HANDS AT WORK…..MCA VOLUNTEERS
This Annual Report can only be considered complete by acknowledging the efforts of our dedicated volunteers, including
parents, grandparents, alumni and friends. Although it’s impossible to tally the countless hours they poured into our school or
list the names of each individual, it is possible to say that their shared sacrifice and service made a difference in the life of our
school during the 2012-13 school year.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for giving so generously of their time, talents and resources to make a difference in the
ministry of Metrolina Christian Academy. Whether in big or small ways, each volunteer blessed MCA and our students
through their service. We appreciate their partnership and could not accomplish our mission of educating our precious
children for the cause of Christ without our volunteers. God bless you!
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.” - Ephesians 2:10

celebrating 20 years
T
he entire campus body of Metrolina Christian Academy joined
together to commemorate the 20th day of the 20th school year
on September 20, 2012. More than 800 faculty, staff and students
dressed in their Metrolina Christian maroon and white spirit wear
and posed together for a group photo in the shape of a large 20! in
celebration of the twenty years of distinctive Christian education
provided by Metrolina.
Students in Lower, Middle and High School participated in their
Social Studies and Bible classes by discussing the history of
Metrolina Christian Academy and what was taking place in the early
1990’s when the school was
organized. Each student, faculty
and staff member also shared
their perspective on what makes
Metrolina special by drawing or
writing on cards which were
displayed around campus on
large commemorative boards.
During lunch, students and staff
enjoyed cupcakes baked and
served by Metrolina Christian
parents to help celebrate the
school’s 20th year.

20-year timeline
HISTORY OF METROLINA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
In 1992 a number of Christian parents at First Baptist Church of Indian Trail (FBCIT) saw the
need for Christian education for children. The church, under the leadership of Senior
Pastor Dr. Mike Whitson, stepped out on faith and launched Metrolina Christian Academy
(MCA). Previously, the church had operated a mother’s morning out program. During the
early years, the school operated from the old education building at FBCIT. MCA has been
guided through its twenty-year history by two passionate Heads of School, Mrs. Jean Hall
and Rev. Rick Calloway. Mrs. Hall directed the ministry of MCA until 1998. Rev. Rick
Calloway has been the Head of School since January 1998.
Mrs. Jean Hall
Rev. Rick Calloway
MCA has grown to be the fourth largest Christian school in North Carolina. For the 2012-2013 school year, there are 184
employees and 1080 students. MCA has grown in student enrollment fourteen out of the last fifteen years.
Great emphasis is given to both the spiritual and academic formation of each student. The highlight of each week is our chapel
services. There have been over 1700 salvations at MCA in the past fifteen years. MCA students, staff and parents serve in our
community and understand the importance of reaching out to others for the cause of Christ through our Project Serve Program.

provide all students (TK-12th grade) and staff the opportunity to serve.
MCA students are continually learning to model Jesus Christ’s life of servant leadership by investing themselves in the lives of others.
2 Corinthians 9:12 says, “This service you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people, but is also overflowing in many
expressions of thanks to God.” The purpose of student service opportunities is to develop within each student a heart for Christian
service, provide each student an experience of impacting the lives of others, and to show the love of Christ in action throughout our
community.
Lower School students (TK-5th grade) and Middle School students (6th-8th) participate in group service projects with their grade level each
semester, while High School students (9th-12th) are involved through their Bible classes. Also many of the athletic teams, student school
groups and staff members are involved in their own group service projects.
