If you'd like some accountability and encouragement as we "fast" together, signup at this link: https://www.mountainhomechristianacademy.com/article/2559027
This digital detox is open to the entire community. Please spread the word and let's start 2026 off in intentional ways that honor Christ and realign our priorities!
The Christmas parade is coming this Friday! MHCA will have a float and we need your help.
If you can volunteer to help on Thursday or Friday assemble the MHCA float, please text Ben Coghlan at 615-815-0339. The vision has already been created and supplies will be provided. Service hours for your time will be logged on your behalf in your FACTS account.
If you have a large Christmas tree that could be borrowed for the float, please text Ben as well.
Could you provide some Christmas candy to pass out? Drop it at the school, labeled with a parent/guardian first name and last name for a service hour to be added to your FACTS account.
If you've been selected to ride or walk alongside the float, please wear pajamas over cozy clothing so that you will be warm. Jesse or Ben will reach out to the parents of participating students and coordinate meeting details, etc. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to particpate with their students. Service hours will be give for any parent who participates and helps chaperone other students on the float.

We live in a world where we’re constantly connected—yet more disconnected than ever.
This January, we’re setting aside the noise to make room for what matters most: faith, family, purpose, presence, rest, and real conversations.
📵 A month to unplug.
💛 A month to reconnect.
🙌 A month to live fully.
Whether you're a parent, student, teacher, or just someone longing for more peace in your life—you’re invited.
This isn’t about rules or judgment. It’s about choosing to step away from the scroll and step into life with intention.
Imagine what could happen if we exchanged:
🔁 Screen time for scripture time
🔔 Notifications for prayer and rest
📱 Endless scrolling for face-to-face connection
💬 Digital noise for meaningful conversations
Let’s start the year with clear minds, full hearts, and renewed purpose.
Are you in? ✨
Sign up here for encouragement and accountability as well as weekly devotions to help renew our minds!
