From our Pastor

Update from Northside Christian Academy

As the coach of the Northside Christian Academy boys and girls basketball

teams, I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with over 30 amazing

middle school students who have impacted me more than I have them. Thoughour school merely started a few months ago, we were able to pull together

enough students to form a girls and boys basketball team and a cheerleading

squad. Many of our students had yet to set foot on a basketball court, but were

merely excited at the opportunity to be part of a team, and represent their

school. At our rst meeting I read Philippians 2:3-4, Do nothing out of

selsh ambition or vain conceit. Rather in

humility value others above yourselves, not

looking to your own interests but each of you

to the interests of others. We stress loving one

another not only on the basketball court, but

off as well. Through our basketball team, we

hope to represent not only Northside Baptist

Church and Northside Christian Academy, but

Jesus Christ. Our schedule features a number

of different private schools from around the

midlands and Aiken/Augusta area. Some

of these schools are faith-based, others

are not. Our athletes have conducted

themselves in a manner worthy of respect

and honor in the rst few games of the

season. Not one word has been spoken in

vain to a referee or opposing player, and

no frustrations have been voiced on the

court. Our students are exemplifying what

it means to play with class, especially in the

face of adversity. We have the opportunity

to let Christ shine through as our reason

for these actions, not only from our players,

but from our families as well who cheer on

the athletes at our games. Winning, though

preferred, is not the ultimate goal. At the end

of the day we want to have represented our

God in a way he would be pleased with, no matter the circumstances. As we

build our athletic program here at Northside Christian Academy we will keep

these principles in mind, and always try to look to the interests of others before

our own. We will continue to stress these principles to our students, and hope

that their example will show others the love and compassion of Christ. We

encourage you to come out and cheer on our Crusaders, you can

nd the schedule on the NCA website!

Coach Devin Olenick

Northside Christian Academy

New years always bring new

opportunities; but the opportunity

God has given Northside, as

we enter 2012, is without a doubt

the greatest opportunity we have ever

experienced as a church family. He has given us

a brand new facility in one of the best locations in

the Midlands. A new elementary school (MeadowGlen Elementary) opened this past year and a new

middle school (Meadow Glen Middle) will open

this coming year adjacent to our campus. A new

high school (River Bluff) will be opening within

a mile of our campus the following year. Even in

a depressed housing market, new homes are being

built all around our new campus. Our location, right

off of I-20 on Hwy 378, makes us easily accessible

to anyone in the Midlands. We have already sold

part of our old campus and because of that, we have

been able to pay down 1.3 million dollars of debt on

our new campus!

I am convinced God is doing everything possible to

position us to impact our community, our state, ournation, and our world. But you will not hear me use

the phrase from the movie, Field of Dreams, build

it and they will come. A beautiful campus or great

location doesnt reach people for Christ. People

reach people for Christ! God has entrusted us with

a great location and a great campusbut it is up to

us to reach our world.

So what can we do? Make a commitment to

pray. As we launch Lighthouses of Prayer,

make a commitment to be a prayer warrior for your

community. Make a commitment to invite. It is

true that most people will visit if invited by a friend

or acquaintance. Heres what I know people are

much more likely to come if invited. Use the Invite

Cards we provide as an opportunity to invite people

to join us for worship. Make a commitment to

welcome those who attend. There are times that

we get so busy fellowshipping with our friends that

we fail to make newcomers feel welcome. First

impressions are lasting impressions. Lets not let a

rst time guest leave without feeling like an honored

guest. Make a commitment to share your faith.

Your ministers have made a commitment to set the

example in personal evangelism but we cant do it

alone. An army of 1000 is much more powerful

than an army of 8. In the coming weeks you will

hear how we can see hundreds of people saved and

baptized every year. Make a commitment to give.

We will never accomplish the task God has given

us to reach the world until we begin to sacrice notonly our time but our treasures.

This is our year of destiny! It is my prayer that by

year end we will have seen over 200 people saved

and baptized and over 300 new people actively

involved in the Northside Family. Lets join

together and make it happen.

Whatever it takes,

Pastor Rocky
