Midwestern Christian Academy has been a ministry of Midwest Bible Church ever since the school was established. The church has a long history and legacy of ministry to children and youth. One of the church's former pastors, Torrey Johnson, was the founder of Youth for Christ back in 1944. Part of that legacy includes the establishment of Phantom Ranch Bible Camp in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, as an outreach and discipleship ministry to youth and children, and the establishment of a Christian school, Midwestern Christian Academy, on the campus of the church, also as a discipleship ministry and evangelistic outreach to children and youth. Evangelist Billy Graham was involved with the Youth for Christ ministry, and his first sermon broadcast on the radio was preached from inside the Gideon Building, which now serves Pre-School on our campus.
We know that most of our students and their families are involved in many different churches all around Northwest Chicago. We are very glad that the ministry of Midwestern Christian Academy, started back in 1956, is able to serve every student who comes our way, and share in this discipleship and educational ministry.
We are also aware that some families who send their children our way, and who understand and appreciate the value of a Christian education, aren't currently involved with a local church. We want to extend to you an open invitation to visit Midwest Bible Church. Our pastor would love to have the chance to talk to you about your family and our church's ministry or about any spiritual need you may have. You are part of our family, and you are always welcome.
As we start a new year, this may be the time that God's Holy Spirit is leading you to become involved in the ministry of a local church. Since you already know where we are, and are familiar with our campus, please consider joining us each week for worship.
