Mission & Purpose

At Shining Light, students learn the right use of knowledge in the context of character with a heart for God and others.

The purpose of Shining Light Baptist Academy is to educate and train the whole student: spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. We believe the students who learn to discipline themselves will excel in life. Not only must a young person have a heart for God, but he or she must also have wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to serve the Lord in the plan He has for his or her life. Therefore, God’s Word is integrated into the total educational program. The Bible is taught so that the student will develop the mind of Christ, learn to practice His conscious presence, and exercise a Biblical world-view.

Shining Light is a premier Christian life skills academy located in the Greater Charlotte area of Monroe, North Carolina.
