About Us

Mission & Vision

Mission: At Mulberry Christian Academy, our mission is to provide excellence in education, with a Biblical worldview, in a Christ-centered atmosphere. We believe education is truly a family affair and MCA is humbled to be able to use Christian education as a way to assist parents in training their children to be Christ-like. 

Vision: The vision of Mulberry Christian Academy is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with every student who enters our school. It is our goal to love, grow, and serve our community as well as teach the importance of these principles to our students.

Declaration of Faith

We Believe:

  1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
  2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
  3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our Intercessor.
  4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
  5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
  6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
  7. Holiness to be God’s standard of living for His people.
  8. In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. 
  9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. 
  10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
  11. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
  12. In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saint’s feet. 
  13. In the pre-millennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
  14. In bodily resurrection, eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked. 

Accreditation

MCA School Board

The Mulberry Christian Academy school board consists of no less than five voting members.  The voting members hold the following credentials: one member is the pastor of Mulberry Church of God; one member is the principal of Mulberry Christian Academy; one member is the head administrative assistant of the Mulberry Christian Academy; one member is the trustee/clerk of Mulberry Church of God; and one member is a parent of Mulberry Christian Academy students. 

The MCA school board acts as a policy-setting body, not a management one, and therefore does not interfere with the daily operations of the school. The day-to-day operations of the Christian academy (grades VPK-12) are overseen by the principal, vpk director, and supporting staff.
