History Central Christian Academy (CCA) was founded in 1975 as a ministry of Central Assembly of God Church of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
In early 2005, Central Assembly of God decided to close the ministry no later then the end of the school year.
With this situation, the parents of Central Christian Academy organized, prayed and were moved to become an independent, non-profit ministry.
