Overview
Since 1989, LCS has partnered with families from all over the Omaha area to provide an exceptional education for students in grade K-8. Lifegate Christian School is a ministry of Lifegate Church and parenters with the families of the greater Omaha area to provide a Christ-centered education, one child at a time.
We envision a school in which our students are transformed by an authentic personal relationship with Jesus Christ; embraced by a caring school community of staff, students and families; and empowered with wisdom, knowledge, and a Biblical world view to impact this generation for Jesus Christ.
Omaha Christian Academy has been educating students in light of Biblical Truth since 1972.
A true education begins with the acknowledgment there is a great Creator God, who is the source of all knowledge and all wisdom (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10).
OCA has been training up the next generation of world-changers for more than four decades...inspiring students to achieve academic excellence, athletic success, and championship recognition in performing arts for God`s glory.
OCA infuses biblical truth into all curriculum, subject matter and activities, thereby directing the hearts and minds of all students toward Kingdom purposes.
OCA`s primary goal is to provide an excellent academic education while instilling the Word of God in the lives of students-preparing them for college, career, life and eternity.
