What we do is intrinsically tied to who we are. SouthLake Christian Academy is the body of Christ gathered under the commissioning of Christ and His Church (SouthLake Presbyterian Church). The Academy, as the body of Christ, will worship together (chapel), pray together (at all times in a variety of contexts), build one another up in fellowship centered around the Word of God (Bible class, Chapel, and school retreats) and reach out into our surrounding community (Missions and Outreach).

The purpose and motivation for outreach into our community is a direct reflection of our identity in Jesus Christ. Having been called by God into fellowship with His Son, justified freely by faith alone, we realize our new identity in Christ as new creations and work out our salvation in fear and trembling, bringing glory to God in doing those good works He prepared in advance for us to do.

Accordingly, our identity in Christ entails our citizenship in his Kingdom, which is advancing in this world. Jesus’ announcement of the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven was followed with miracles of healing and the forgiveness of sins. This pattern of word and deed, which we call “outreach,” is the pattern in which He sent His disciples.

Love compels us to fulfill The Great Commission and bring glory to God by our labors for His Kingdom. Therefore, it is the joy of the church redeemed in Jesus Christ, for purposes beyond which we can imagine, to reach out to surrounding communities and beyond with the light of the gospel and the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Missions Week is a highlight at SouthLake Christian Academy. Each spring the school comes together for chapel services centered on a missional theme. The primary goal is to educate our students in the work of mission around the world and then to enlist their help and support.

In the past we have raised awareness and support for local and international missions including residents of Caterpillar Ministries in Huntersville, NC,  persecuted Christians in Northern Iraq, and Haitian families needing relief from the earthquake. Lower School students participate in The Parade of Nations. Upper school students also visit elementary classrooms where together they explore the work of the Gospel in the world.

2022 Mission's Week will focus on 20 years of Missions.  Students will learn about all the great service work done by the students before them and will hear directly from individuals who experienced each mission trip.
