For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
– Ephesians 2:10
In 2018 someone asked BCA Associate Head of School, Jennifer Gastley, the question -
"What would you do to grow BCA?"
She responded with an answer the Lord had put on her heart - "To offer a hybrid model of education."
Jennifer had no idea what was to come!
The word “workmanship” is the Greek word, poiema. It means masterpiece, poem or work of art. To be God’s workmanship means that He uses the make-up of our lives, our passions, interests, talents and abilities, in addition to His giftedness to do good works in Christ Jesus that He prepared beforehand!
Independently, BCA and LCA were doing good works in Christ. They were both seeking to follow God’s ultimate plan for Christ-centered education.
Their purposeful paths ultimately led them to a place of convergence.
Around the same time, LCA Co-Founder, Suzanne Phillips, and the LCA Board were praying about opportunities and strategies to grow their school.
They had always dreamed of a larger campus and expanding their community for the sake of Kingdom impact.
Suzanne had no idea what was to come!
In 2019, leaders from BCA and LCA began connecting as like-minded Christian educators seeking to grow and learn from one another. Behind the scenes God was at work in ways they never expected, preparing good works for them to accomplish together. Hearts and visions were shared through several meetings and they all began to ask the question, “What if?”
What if BCA and LCA linked arms to fulfill their vision and dreams together? The leadership teams began to see the writing on the wall! Through prayer and discernment, it became so clear. Their shared desire to create an environment where every child was known could be realized in a much greater way through the convergence of the two schools. By coming together, they could become a better version of what they had envisioned all along!
