Beacons-Let your light shine!
SHORE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
SCA students support many various missions throughout our school year. Funding for these mission projects is collected through weekly offerings during our chapel services. Other mission projects rely completely on the generosity of our families and students.

MISSIONS CALENDAR
SEPTEMBER
We begin our school with supporting our annual missions. We support a boy in Haiti named Myson. We also support the Irons family. The Irons family is from the Eastern Shore and currently do mission work in Poland.
OCTOBER
It may be hard to believe, but our October mission project is Operation Christmas Child. Our students bring in items to pack shoeboxes to be sent abroad. Students love the "hands-on" experience of shopping and packing the boxes for their trip around the world!
NOVEMBER
With the holiday seasons approaching, SCA has always chosen to do a canned food drive for local needy families. We collect canned goods throughout November and into December. The food items collected are donated to Exmore Baptist Church's food pantry. Food boxes are assembled and distributed during the holidays to local shut-ins and families in need.
DECEMBER
The holidays are an exciting time for most people, but for local shut-ins, nursing home residents and our military it can be a very lonely time. SCA students make Christmas cards during the month of December to brighten the holidays for these folks.
JANUARY
Our students kick off the new year by collecting funds and supplies to make "Blessing Bags" for local law enforcement officers. These bags include snacks and assorted goodies as a "thank you" for our officers that work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. This 'hands-on' service projects teachers our students the joy of giving back.
FEBRUARY
MARCH
March is our "Adopt an OOTB Counselor" month.
This month we will collect chapel offerings to help support Camp Occohannock on the Bay with counselor needs. We're always on the lookout for the needs in our community.
APRIL
Red Bank Baptist Church hosts a FREE baseball and softball camp in the summer for Eastern Shore children that wish to improve their skills while learning about the Lord at the same time. This is a new mission for us!
MAY
Our May mission project will take us back to our local nursing home to distribute flowers grown by our LUOA students. These students have worked hard to learn about planting and growing flowers from seed to share the beauty of God's creation with those that could use some cheer!
February is our "Mission of Choice" month.
We may have visitors perform for us during this month and we'll collect offerings throughout the entire month for the. We will also ask our SCA family to make a recommendation for a mission for the month. We're always on the lookout for the needs in our community.
