News! Ocean City Christian School has become SEASIDE
CHRISTIAN ACADEMY beginning July 1st. The school is under a brand
new Board structure and is moving forward as a Community Christian School.
While Ocean City Baptist Church will continue to support the school in
every way possible, Seaside Christian Academy is totally autonomous
and will seek to truly minister to the entire Christian Community. We
are very excited about these changes and have been blessed with many new
churches coming alongside the school to help us grow and reach more
families in the area. Praise the Lord for these wonderful changes and
please
keep the school in your prayers.
Registraion
is open and we are looking for many new students. The school will host
Pre-K 3 through 8th grade. Call the school at 410-213-7595.In 1996, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Elliott offered 17 acres of prime land in West Ocean City to the Ocean City Baptist Church, on the condition that the church would build a Christian School. Though we were a small church we prayerfully accepted the challenge and in 1998, opened the Ocean City Christian School with 43 students in grades Kindergarten through 7th grade. It has been an exciting journey with many struggles. We purchased from the Elliott's another ten acres of land adjoining our property. With the cost of permits, fees, construction, fields, and equipment we have already spent over $1.5 million dollars. To say the least, it has stretched our congregation to its limits and demonstrated that only God can do a "God Sized" job. We now have about 80 students in Pre-K3 through 8th grade, and graduated our very first class in 2005. We have much more to do. We have tested the limits of our facilities and are hoping to build a "multipurpose" Family Life Center, that will house our High School and our church for the next several years. This new facility will cost us another $5 million dollars. It will have a full sized High School Gymnasium that will host much of the athletic programs for the school and the church, as well as serve as a worship center and auditorium. It will have a complete kitchen, cafeteria, library, science and math labs, and a dozen more classrooms. The church and school offices will also be housed in this beautiful facility. Over 30 other churches, representing a wide spectrum of denominations are participating with us in one way or another in developing this amazing community effort. To complete this task we will need many others to join us by praying, giving money, contributing time, and sharing our story. www.seasidechristianacademy.com 03/26/2008
