Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that God is the Creator of the heaven and earth.
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.
We believe that the term "marriage" has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. We believe that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that God loves each person and desires the salvation of all.
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
We believe that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for salvation of the lost and sinful man, and results in the new birth whereby sinful man becomes a new and different creature.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
We believe that God calls us to serve others and to proclaim His Truth through our speech and conduct as exemplified by our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost-those that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

History
Beginning with 35 students and 4 teachers, Cornerstone Christian Academy was established in 1992 to provide families in the greater Paducah area with a quality, Christian educational experience that surpasses learning in a standard classroom. In 1994 the school's name was changed to Community Christian Academy and was no longer under the auspices of one church. CCA is non-denominational and as such, does not lift one denomination over another, but rather attempts to lift up and honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the head of our school.
