Academy 4

Messiah is a volunteer partner for Academy 4 at Hilltop Elementary School (1622 S. Stewart St. Azle, TX). Academy 4 is a program that pairs 4th graders in high-need schools with mentors. The time commitment is only 90 minutes, once a month, and mentors are provided training and resources to make the experience easy and successful. Many other community organizations and congregations participate in Academy4, so this is one way that Messiah is Together in Mission by working together with others to be a positive force in our community. Check out the video above to see what 4th graders have to say. It is amazing how just 90 minutes a month spent with an adult who cares and listens can transform the life of a child!
