It is very important that Littlestown Christian Academy remain connected to those organizations and ministries that provide us with fellowship, oversight, training, and support. We greatly value our relationship with several organizations that multiply our effectiveness as we disciple our students.

Bethel Assembly of God

Littlestown Christian Academy is one of the many ministries of Bethel Assembly of God. Pastor James Ruddy, the pastoral staff at Bethel, and the Board of deacons provide spiritual oversight and support to Littlestown Christian Academy. Our school board members are members of Bethel and serve faithfully in the governance and policy responsibilities of the school. We do not expect families that choose LCA for their child's education to attend Bethel Assembly of God, however, we want every LCA family to know that they are considered a part of the Bethel family and are welcome to participate in all the activities and ministries that are offered.  You can visit the Bethel website at www.bethelag.com. 

Association of Christian Schools International

LCA is an active member of the Association of Christian Schools International. Its vision is to be an association speaking with a viable and authoritative voice in education and consisting of effective Christian schools recognized as essential and contributing to the public good. Its mission is to enable Christian educators and schools worldwide to effectively prepare students for life. You can visit their website at www.acsi.org.

Association of Christian Teachers and Schools

ACTS is the Assemblies of God Christian school association. Its vision is to join with Christian teachers and schools to build Christian leaders for the 21st Century who are empowered by the Holy Spirit. They seek and promote Christ-centered, Bible-based, Holy Spirit-directed solutions to the education challenges facing our world today.

Pennsylvania Department of Education

We are registered with the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This relationship, along with our partnership with the Lincoln Intermediate Unit #12, provides textbooks, materials, and services for our students and staff. We greatly value the support afforded our program by the state and federal education departments.

Alpha Omega Online

Our partnership with Alpha Omega Online allows us to leverage technology and the internet to provide middle school and high school courses to our students that would otherwise not be possible. Their vision is "changing education for the glory of God."

This partnership provides a great opportunity for our students to learn the skills of communication, research and computer applications that are so necessary in our society today. Students have an opportunity to learn from teachers across the country and perhaps learn with students in other countries. Some of the online courses taught using Alpha Omega Online curriculum are taught by our own staff. Our foreign language courses are taught by Alpha Omega Academy.
