A Bold New Approach |
Genesis Christian Academy is a Christian K-12 college preparatory academy located on Everything Jesus Ranch in Seguin, Texas. Our 114 acre rural river front environment allows students to explore and pursue every aspect of their spiritual, creative, intellectual and physical development. Our goal is to educate a new generation of peacemakers who, inspired by Christian values and empowered by the Holy Spirit, will utilize creative ministries to transcend the barriers that separate God’s children from one another: culture, class, gender, race, religion, denomination, ethnicity, etc.
Our ranch setting provides a variety of opportunities for our youth. Not only does the farm produce over half of the food they eat, it provides an opportunity for practical application of their academic skill. Many of the science projects of our students involve livestock and agriculture. Our very youngest students understand principles of organic gardening, and the responsibility of each individual to protect and improve the environment. Most of our students have gained mechanical knowledge through maintenance and repair of our equipment. Students are also taught general carpentry, plumbing, and electrical skills. Every aspect of our students’ education highlights the potential for each life activity and profession to serve as a Christian witness. Students learn by experience that every task, menial or profound, must be performed with excellence, and in service to Christ. Through the challenges of a rigorous academic curriculum, work responsibilities, and opportunities to excel in creative and performance arts, our students develop creative styles of worship, ministry, and evangelism.
Work experiences on Everything Jesus Ranch stimulate our students’ mental and physical stamina, develop their problem-solving skills, and instill a commitment to task completion. Most important, every activity—academic, creative, work, or recreational—is aimed at encouraging students to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and gain firsthand knowledge of the Bible as their primary tool for problem solving.
