Advent Christian Academy is an online gathering space where children can grow in biblical literacy and catechism knowledge. The Advent provides three lessons per week that include a Bible reading from our Bible Benchmarks resource, video instruction, an engaging worksheet, and links to music from New City Catechism. These 30-minute lessons enable families to offer their children Christian education at home.
