Christian Life
XC-Praying.jpg
Anchored in Christ. Growing in Grace. Shining His Light.
Faith isn’t just a class period. It’s the foundation. At MRA, Christian Life shapes who we are and how we live. From the classroom to the competition field, from chapel to everyday conversations, faith is woven into the rhythm of campus life.
We believe following Christ gives purpose to learning, leadership, friendship, and service. Our faculty and staff live out their faith every day, and students are invited to grow in their own relationship with Him - thoughtfully, authentically, and rooted in biblical truth.
From Bible class to chapel, from service projects to everyday mentorship, students explore big questions, discover strong convictions, and learn to live their faith with courage, compassion, and joy on campus and wherever life takes them.
As students grow here, we gently and consistently point them toward one life-shaping question: Who are you meant to be?

Alive Week
At MRA, our faculty and staff pour the love of Jesus into the lives of students every day. In the classroom, athletics, fine arts, and everything in between, God is our focus and motivation to teach the mind, body, and spirit of every student. With this, we hope to sow seeds of faith in our students' hearts and lives, equipping them to become servant leaders who impact our community and the world for Jesus Christ.Josh Gilreath,MRA Middle School Spirital Life Director
Shining His Light at Every Stage
From a sweet Bible story in preschool to meaningful memory work in elementary, students begin to experience faith in ways that are tangible and engaging. In middle school, retreats and small-group discipleship help them wrestle with big questions and see God’s hand at work in their own lives.
By high school, opportunities expand to include the Passion Conference, mission trips, and ways to serve and witness in the Metro area. At every age and stage, MRA students are living their faith, reflecting His light in their words, actions, and choices.
