On Friday, April 22, we would love to have all OCA students and families join us for a night of worship, with special guest speaker Pastor Lawrence Neisent. Pastor Lawrence joins us all the way from Oklahoma City, where he is Lead Pastor at Destiny Christian Center, and serves in leadership at Destiny Christian School, a K-12 school of over 500 students. Lawrence also serves as an overseer to various churches and non-profit organizations nationally and internationally, seeking to equip the church to be a relevant voice of prophetic influence in the local, national, and global community. He joined us for Chapel and a special financial workshop in September, and the students really enjoyed his energy and relevant, applicable message. He will be speaking in morning chapel on the 22nd as well, where he will address both Elementary and MSHS. Feel free to invite family members, friends, and church members to join us for this very special evening.

Greetings OCA Families,
​
We hope you all had a relaxing and wonderful winter break. We are excited to welcome our students back to school.

On Sunday February 27th, NYS Department of Health removed the mask mandate for schools as of Wednesday March 2nd. As such, we are excited to no longer be requiring masks. If you would like your child to continue wearing a mask this will be at the discretion of the parents.

In Christ,
Otsego Christian Academy Administration

Cristy teaches 4th grade and Mike teaches Bible and MS English.

Mrs. Dirig underwent eye surgery today and is in need of our prayers for her complete recovery.

Mrs. Dirig is crucial to the day to day operations of the school. Please be patient with us while she recovers.
