ACA's Christmas concerts brought honor and glory to our King, Jesus. Thank you, students, for leading the audience in worship with your voices and instruments.

Ambassador Christian Academy's middle and high school students wowed audiences with a production of The Pilgrim's Progress in November! The Academy of Arts spent a full week at ACA, leading students through the processes of acting, blocking scenes, building sets, and preparing A/V equipment. It was an incredible learning experience for our students and a beautiful opportunity to share the truths of the gospel!

ACA's athletes enjoyed expanded athletic programs this fall. High school girls volleyball, middle school boys soccer, and middle school girls soccer teams provided opportunities for students to increase their skills in athletics, leadership, and teamwork.

Jaxson and Mika Marx have been riding horses at Legacy Ranch in Howell on and off for the past 5 years. In January of 2023, they had an opportunity to compete nationally in rodeo. They were excited to give it a shot and started training. A few months later on March 11th, Jaxson's birthday, they entered their first competition at the Horse Park in Allentown. Because it was halfway through the season, they were not official members. It was more of a tryout to see how they liked it. They absolutely loved it! In August they became members and had their first official competition in September. They recently finished their last competition of the fall in Delaware.

Mika's horse's name is Stella and she has been riding her since January. She is an absolute speedster! For this reason, her nickname on the ranch is Taz (from Looney Toons). As of right now, she is in 2nd place in all of NJ for the Tumbleweed division! She is in 1st for rookie cowgirl of the year.

Jaxson is now on his 3rd horse and has been working the kinks out of each one. He is currently riding a new horse that is being trained to be a "roping" horse. His second horse, Lad, was a good fit and got him in 2nd place for rookie cowboy of the year!

Mika and Jaxson are doing an event called pole bending and barrel racing. They are also training for a new event, goat tying.

Both children took to riding right away and are blessed with such a natural ability. They absolutely love it, and we are so happy they found such a unique sport in our area!
