Putting God's Word Into Action
| The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me.' Matthew 25:40 |
Our Student Outreach
"Christ has no body on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out; yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good; and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now."
~Saint Teresa of Avila

Ministry and outreach have always been an integral part of life here at BCA. It is such a blessing to be a part of a school where serving others is valued so highly. We are very proud of our students and all of the outreach they have completed this past school year (2010-11). We cannot wait to see what they accomplish next year!
