This School was Built on a Calling.
Help us Keep Building it.
Before Carolina Christian Academy opened its doors, Crystal Rumfelt sat across from a music teacher, Carolyn Filer, and shared a vision. Carolyn had no plans to teach at a Christian school again. But she heard something that felt like a calling, and she said yes. She has never left.
“Knowing God put me here has kept me here.”

This year, one of our newest teachers watched a student arrive from the public school system, hurt, behind academically, and struggling socially after a year of bullying. Through prayer, collaboration, and a plan built specifically for him, that child found his footing. The change from September to now is undeniable.
That is what CCA does every day. This campaign is how we make sure we can keep doing it.

“I have seen kids literally grow up right before my eyes at this school and go on to become leaders in their communities. They never stray from their foundations. They love Jesus, they love people, they are set apart. I have seen this take place time and again.”
- Tammie Hanna, CCA Teacher
“A student came to us from the public school system. He had struggled with bullying, and it showed. Through months of prayer, collaboration, and a plan built specifically for him, we watched him come back to life. The difference between who he was in September and who he is today is undeniable.”
- Adrianne Squires, CCA Teacher
“My son had some academic struggles, but has overcome them. He is a good student, loves Jesus, is a leader, and an excellent athlete. His years at CCA helped form him into the person he is today. I do not think he would be as secure in who he is without this school.”
- Tammie Hanna, CCA Parent and Teacher
Giving Made Simple.
What is the campaign goal?
We are raising $250,000 to support our teachers, student programs, facilities, and future growth. Every gift, at any level, moves us closer.
How can I give?
You can give online through our giving page, by mailing a check to the school office, or by speaking directly with a member of our team. One-time gifts, monthly giving, and multi-year pledges are all available.
Can I give in installments?
Yes. Monthly giving and multi-year pledges are both welcome. Give in whatever way works best for your family.
Is this a church campaign or a school campaign?
It is both. CCA is a ministry of First Free Will Baptist Church, and this campaign reflects the church’s commitment to Christian education in our community.
What if I cannot give much?
Every gift matters. A $25 monthly gift is $300 a year. When many people give together, it adds up to something significant. Participation is what moves this campaign forward.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Carolina Christian Academy is a nonprofit ministry. Please consult your tax advisor for specific guidance. A giving receipt will be provided for all donations.
Be a Part of What God is Building Here.
Every gift, at every level, is an act of faith. Would you prayerfully consider joining us?
