Over the course of seven weeks, we’re tackling some of our biggest questions about life, God, and Jesus. Everyone is invited—this is a great opportunity to invite friends and family who are conflicted about the concept of faith. Invitation cards are available in the church lobby to help you do just that.
There is also an open discussion group exploring these questions on a deeper level. Join the conversation on Mondays at 6:30 PM at Pal Joey's in Batavia.

What types of academic classes, including AP courses, are available for my student?
·
How do I navigate the Admissions Process?

What is the spiritual culture like at Wheaton Academy?
Parents and middle school students are welcome to
