- the evangel house difference
Evangel House Christian Academy is a christian boarding school based upon biblical principles. An authentic relationship with Jesus Christ is nurtured and developed within the school's setting, and through local church involvement.  An overriding emphasis on conservative christian values permeates all segments of the program.  The christian emphasis seamlessly integrates with professional counseling and clinical aspects of the school.

Although it is never forced, our lively spiritual atmosphere, discipleship curriculum, interactive worship, along with church involvement encourage students to explore the benefits of a life-changing relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

- a protected christian environment
Christian families who enroll their daughter can rest assured she will be surrounded by a spiritually safe environment of conservative christian values.  Students are protected from the influence of unhealthy media, secular music, Internet distractions, and destructive elements of today's pop-culture. 

- professional christian staff

Students at ECHA are supported in christian beliefs with qualified ministry-minded instructors.  All staff at EHCA holds relevant professional degrees and student ministry experience.  Staff at EHCA not only teaches a christian lifestyle - they live it.

- character development
EHCA students are instructed in practical applied life skills through biblical teachings.  Students participate in weekly small group discipleship meetings which include a culmination of readings, biblical passages, and psychological principles. For the first stages, students work on character development.  As spiritual growth becomes evident in their lives, students are trained in peer leadership.

- church and youth group involvement
While the school maintains a non-denominational approach, EHCA has a special relationship with First Assembly of God Church, Lafayette LA.  Students attend Sunday morning worship and mid-week youth group meetings.  Their involvement is supervised by staff, but they are welcomed by the people of the church. First Assembly and EHCA have worked together to provide an authentic experience with God since EHCA's establishment in 1995. The church provides an opportunity for students to explore and experience God in a renewed way, yet they are taught to honor their parents' denominational background within that renewed relationship.  Families from a variety of catholic and protestant church backgrounds find this approach effective for re-connecting their daughter to God through Jesus Christ.

- personal spiritual life development
Students are encouraged to take notes of church sermons, develop personal bible study habits, and develop a personal prayer time.  Each school day begins with a group prayer and devotional thought for the day led by students.  Each night before lights-out, the group is given time for personal reflection time before participating in a peer-led prayer group.  Weekly group meetings are held to share struggles and provide encouragement within the peer group. Staff members also supervise and guide each individual to develop healthy spiritual disciplines.
