Coming Up at The Academy
Summer Mission Week with SLAM

Academy high school students served their hearts out throughout the city of Nashville ministering to the hungry, lonely, and those in need of assistance.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. - Colossians 3:1-3
