Overview
Covenant Christian Academy of the Lehigh Valley is a non-profit, parent run educational institution with a mission to be an extension of the Christian family, by providing excellence through Christian education to children in Kindergarten through 8th grade. 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.
The school was renamed to Covenant Christian Academy of the Lehigh Valley and after a relationship was established with Calvary Wesleyan Church of Bethlehem, the school opened on the Calvary campus in August of 2005. In 2019, the school relocated to the campus of Emmanuel EC Church in Bethlehem.
Bethlehem Christian School is a non-denominational, Bible believing, Christian school.
We provide a complete educational program that is Biblically sound, Christ-centered and of excellent academic standards.
Bethlehem Christian School offers preschool through 12th grade. BCS is committed to equip students for Christian living by instilling biblical principles of self-discipline, individual responsibility, personal integrity and good citizenship.
Our two host churches are Ebenezer Bible Fellowship Church on Hecktown Road in Bethlehem, PA and Calvary Baptist Church on Green Pond Road in Easton, PA.
