With open and ready hearts, students at North Raleigh Christian Academy are turning faith into action through the schoolwide service project.

For many students and families at North Raleigh Christian Academy, the annual Spiritual Emphasis Week (SEW) is much more than a daily task—it is a spiritual oasis and a chance to reset and reconnect. This year, students participated in daily services led by Nick and Chelsea Hurst, a married couple from Anderson, South Carolina. 

At the beginning of the school year, NRCA’s athletic department launched a new discipleship program to build faith and unity across the Knights’ sports teams. 

Among the many students and staff North Raleigh Christian Academy welcomed for the first time this year was Christian Life Director Ms. Lilly Wooten. As a new addition to the discipleship team, Wooten will be working alongside Mr. Josh Leonard, Dean of Spiritual Formation and Discipleship, to connect with students, share the gospel, and encourage spiritual formation in the NRCA community. 

We’re excited for you to meet our new teachers and staff for the 2025–26 school year. When you see them on campus, be sure to give them a warm NRCA welcome!
