General Description

First Baptist Church of Decatur (FBC) exists to reach, teach, and change lives through God’s power and presence. Home schooling does provide greater opportunity in fulfilling this mission as parents carry out God’s direction in
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (“These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”) Also Paul’s encouragement in Philippians 4:8 (“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things”) can be enhanced through the option of home schooling. In view of the FBC mission statement RCCA will provide a Christian atmosphere for the home school families to help achieve personal development and academic excellence.

Mission Statement

The philosophy of RCCA is that parents begin training their children at birth. This instruction is rich and varied, and may or may not involve formal instruction. However, RCCA recognizes that all children do not fit into the same mold; thus, homeschooling provides an alternative, enabling parents to customize each child’s formal education based on the child’s abilities and interests. The branches of study are limited only by the imagination. RCCA desires to help parents succeed in raising godly men and women to the best of their God given abilities. We understand that as parents we are responsible for the educational training of our children and will hold no one else responsible for their training. The position of First Baptist Church and River City Christian Academy is clear. We understand that both of these abide by the Bible and the doctrines defined by the Baptist Faith and Message. I recognize that the River City Christian Academy and the teachers that lead will abide by the same.
