RCA News
We are Building! We are SO excited to announce the hiring of our principal, Mrs. Christy Mosher, starting this next 2023-24 school year.
She is uniquely gifted and a perfect fit as we look to add to our staff, continue building RCA and launching Kingdom Carriers!
Here’s a brief message from Christy: “Greetings! My name is Christy Mosher, and I am thrilled to join the amazing team of educators at Restoration Community Academy for the 2023-2024 school year. I am a Georgia state-certified teacher with concentrations in language arts, science, and math. I’ve also earned a Master of Education degree from Mercer University, and I received a Charlotte Mason endorsement from Perimeter Christian School. Over the course of my career I have taught in public, private, and homeschool settings, but most recently I’ve been serving at Covenant Christian Academy in Cumming for the past five years. I view Christian education as a means of discipleship by daily integrating faith and a Biblical worldview into classroom learning.
I have been married to my husband, Scott, for 23 years, and we have two teenage sons, Corban and Tavin. In my free time you’ll find me hiking a nature trail, reading a good book, or having coffee and deep conversation with friends. I am thrilled to partner with the parents, students, and teachers at RCA for the 2023-2024 school year and am looking forward to all God has in store as He develops the next generation of Kingdom Carriers for His glory and the good of our community and our world.”

Pure Desire – Mondays, 7pm
God gave us a plan for sexual intimacy, and the enemy wants nothing more than to derail and kill our marriages, our families and our lives through an addiction to pornography. To many men, it seems like there isn’t any way out or that they are all alone. You. Are. Not. Alone!!!
Pure Desire Ministries was founded to establish the renewing of our minds from what the world would try to establish as “normal” sexual behavior into a transformed and exciting understanding of true Biblical intimacy. If you have struggles with pornography, even if you aren’t sure the word “addict” applies to you, let us help. This is a sensitive topic, and no one wants to be publicly humiliated or shamed. Here at RC, we have set up a confidential means of communication to be a part of this transformative ministry. Email Ken Ellithorpe. All communications will be treated confidentially and carefully. We are here to help! For more details, click HERE.
