Mission Statement
​NEW BERN CHRISTIAN ACADEMY exists as a ministry of New Life Free Will Baptist Church for the purpose of educating the minds of every young person with excellence while striving to cultivate in their hearts a passion for the Lord Jesus Christ and His work. These objectives are accomplished by providing quality spiritual, academic, and social activities that encourage young people to achieve their individual best for the Glory of God. 
Philosophy
New Bern Christian Academy seeks to minister to the intellectual, physical, spiritual and social needs of its students (Luke 2:52). Recognizing that the primary responsibility for the education of children rests with their parents (Eph. 6:4, Deut. 6:6 & 7), the school seeks to work closely with the Christian home and under the authority of New Life Free Will Baptist Church to instill in students standards for life and learning that is consistent with the Scriptures and which results in Christ-like character. The academy wishes to produce students with a Christian worldview and with a discernment of right and wrong based on the clear precepts and principles of Scripture.

In addition, the school purposes to provide an academic program of high quality so that students may be prepared in a satisfactory manner for college, ready and able to perform God’s will for their lives. We believe that God has instilled certain spiritual and natural gifts to every young person. This can be nurtured and fostered at NBCA with the offering of fine arts instruction and extracurricular activities that further develop the whole child.  This will be accomplished by hiring and maintaining a faculty and staff who are committed to Christ, members of Pleasant Acres Free Will Baptist Church, and who have a deep understanding of Biblical integration. By the direct teaching and godly examples of Christian faculty, students will be encouraged to live exemplary and Christ-like lives.  
New Bern Christian Academy is open to students who are in harmony with its purpose.

Students who are accepted for enrollment are expected to be cooperative, obedient, well mannered, and positive toward the school and its distinctives. The school has a racially non-discriminatory policy. That is, we do not discriminate against applicants and students on the basis of race, color, and national or ethnic origin. We believe this policy to be consistent with the clear teaching of Scripture (James 2:1-9).
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the plenary, verbally inspired Word of God, the only infallible, authoritative rule of faith and practice.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious death through His shed blood, His ascension to Heaven and personal pre-millenial return.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone and that all people are sinners in need of being saved. 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit who enables the believer to live a godly life.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
New Life Church is a Free Will Baptist ministry in New Bern, NC that strives to glorify God and to advance His kingdom. We invite you to join us every week to learn more about the Lord and help you and your family to find New Life in Christ.

Admissions Info and Handbooks

ADMISSIONS - REQUIREMENTS
Student applications may be obtained in the school office or on the school’s website. An interview with the prospective student and the parents and board approval are necessary prior to acceptance. Students will also be required to take an entrance test at the time of the interview prior to acceptance. 
 
ADMISSIONS - PROCEDURES
An application may be obtained in the school office. Parents must have an interview with the principal. A list of what should be brought to the interview with the principal is given on the back of the enrollment form. When a parent completes and signs the Student Enrollment form, pays the $75 registration fee and the $50 non-refundable entrance testing fee, his child is considered enrolled. However, the board must then give approval prior to acceptance. A letter of acceptance will be sent to the parents when their application has been approved. This letter may take two to three weeks from the date of submission depending on the next scheduled board meeting date.  We accept students regardless of race, creed, or color if we are convinced the parents are seeking a Christian education for their children.

CURRICULUM
NBCA will use A Beka Curriculum for all elementary classes.  A combination of A Beka, Bob Jones and other suitable curricula is utilized in the middle and high school classes.  The ministry of Christian schools is to lead students to Christ and teach them Bible truths, Christian character, and traditional subject matter. With a traditional, Christian approach to education, A Beka Book supplies Christian schools with the materials they need to reach and train students for Christ. A Beka Book’s experienced writers and researchers conduct primary research in their fields to provide superior knowledge from a Christian perspective. Coordinating teacher materials assist teachers in presenting lessons that are lively, memorable, and Christ-centered.
