Nolan Christian Academy was organized in August 2010, after our pastor met another pastor at a mission revival. This other pastor told of being abandoned as a child and placed in an orphanage, he then told of God calling him into the ministry and starting a Christian school. He expounded how that the Christian School has enabled his church to help others, especially children, by teaching them Christian values, and preparing them for a Christ filled life. Our pastor went home after this service and felt that this meeting may have been appointed by God, and that the Nolan FWB Church, should start a Christian School. This was in March of 2010. In Jun 2010, the church voted unanimously in favor of this decision, and the church worked hard. In August 2010 school began, offering classes ranging from K4 – 12^th grade. In the beginning classes were held in the Auxiliary Building of the Nolan Freewill Baptist Church. During the school’s first 2-years, it operated as a satellite school of the Eastern Panhandle Christian Academy, a ministry of the Heritage FWB Church at Inwood, WV. After the second year, NCA went independent.

 In 2012, the church had a vision to build a new school building dedicated to Christian education. Not having the funds to build the building, the church took the little money they had and began to work by faith. Men of the church gathered daily and worked, local contractors donated their time and equipment. People in the community made donations, and church members gave and sacrificed to see this projected through completion. In August 2014, God blessed us to move into our new building fully furnished, bought and paid for, completely debt free. This new building was designed especially for NCA.

 

NCA continues to operate in this building and under the direction of the Nolan FWB Church, and has had the privilege of seeing students graduate, go onto college, and labor for the Lord. NCA students are being trained to serve God and they are paying it forward by working in their local churches. We have students and former students who are singing, teaching, and preaching the Gospel, all for the glory of God! Our members and those who support this school have a part in these students’ ministries!
