Macon Christian Academy

We are a private Christian school under the authority of Macon Missionary Baptist Church.

Macon Christian Academy is an Approved Category IV School by the Tennessee State Department of Education, which meets the standards defined by T.C.A. 49-50-801, Church-related schools.

Tennessee Code 1-3-118 - Recognition of high school diplomas from church-related schools and home schools. (a) Notwithstanding any rule, regulation or other law to the contrary, a high school diploma awarded by a school as defined by § 49-50-801 or § 49-6-3050 in recognition of completion of secondary educational requirements shall be considered by all departments, agencies, commissions or other such entities of state and local government as having all the rights and privileges of a high school diploma awarded by a public school system.

The members of Days Cross Roads Missionary Baptist Church appointed a committee in 2008 to study the possibility of starting a private Christian school where our children can learn about the LORD, as well as excel academically. The idea of beginning a Christian school here in Lafayette has been studied before, but has been dormant for several years until 2008 when the idea resurfaced.

The school is run under the authority of Macon Missionary Baptist Church (daughter church of Days Cross Roads Missionary Baptist Church), which has appointed a school board to oversee and make decisions concerning the school. ALL grades, PreK through grade 12, are offered.

MCA asks for the prayers of all. Any feeling led to make donations to this project can do so at Whittemore’s Bookkeeping, 1020 Scottsville Road, Lafayette, TN 37083.
