Indianapolis Junior Academy Update
On June 26, 2022, a spirit of unity and determination was on display at the first annual constituency meeting for Indianapolis Junior Academy (IJA). Representatives from four churches, Lawrence, Glendale, Indy Central, and Indy Second, now form the constituency for Indianapolis Junior Academy. The new constitution and by-laws document was officially ratified in the meeting defining three different levels of membership. Indy Central and Glendale will be full constituent members while Lawrence and Indy Second will be in a working relationship with IJA. It is our hope and prayer that IJA will flourish under the support and prayers of these four churches, as they come together in the Spirit of unity for the purpose of providing the best Adventist education for our children in these last days.
