A Legacy of Christian Education Since 1975

Vinemont Christian Academy (VCA) is a ministry of Soul’s Harbor Ministries and stands as one of North Alabama’s longest‑serving Christian schools. The vision for VCA began in 1973, when God placed a burden on the hearts of our founders to establish a school where children could receive a strong academic education grounded in Biblical truth. That vision became reality in 1975, and from that first school year until today, students have walked these halls every year—learning, growing, and discovering God’s purpose for their lives.

Our Commitment to Christ‑Centered Excellence

At VCA, education is more than academics. It is a ministry. Every classroom is a place where students are encouraged to think deeply, develop character, and pursue excellence in all they do. We believe that:

• Every child is uniquely created by God

• Sensitivity and compassion are strengths

• Respect should be mutual and modeled

• Failure can be a valuable teacher

• Confidence grows when students understand who they are in Christ

Our goal is to cultivate an environment where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential—spiritually, academically, physically, and socially.

Model Status Achievement

Throughout most of our history, Vinemont Christian Academy has earned Model Status from Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.), the highest recognition awarded by the program. This distinction reflects our commitment to academic integrity, strong procedures, and consistent excellence in Christian education.

Souls Harbor Daycare

In 1976, Souls Harbor Daycare opened as an extension of our ministry to provide loving, Christ‑centered childcare for younger children. The daycare continues to operate with the same heart and mission—serving families with a safe, nurturing environment rooted in Biblical values.

Our Four Pillars of Student Development

1. Spiritual Development

Our foremost desire is for every student to know Jesus Christ personally. We teach Biblical truth, encourage daily spiritual growth, and help students build a strong foundation for a lifetime of faith.

2. Academic Excellence

We provide a complete, high‑quality education designed to challenge students and prepare them for future success. Our curriculum emphasizes mastery, critical thinking, and personal responsibility.

3. Physical Preparation

We believe God has a purpose for every life, and students should be physically prepared to fulfill that purpose. Physical education, health awareness, and personal discipline are essential components of our program.

4. Social Growth

Students learn to communicate effectively, interact respectfully, and engage confidently with others. We provide opportunities for leadership, teamwork, and positive social development.
