1. Do we have to attend Lighthouse Church to enroll at Lighthouse Christian Academy?
No, our school is trans-denominational. We teach the Bible and leave the finer points of theology to the child's parents and pastor. This is a logical ministry of our church because it, too, is a trans-denominational, evangelistic church.

We use the A-Beka Bible based curriculum in our school.
