NEW THIS YEAR!
DESSERT AUCTION
We are excited to add a dessert silent auction to this year’s event. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on delicious desserts from local Des Moines area bakeries and homemade goods straight from the kitchens of our incredible staff. Bidding begins the evening of the banquet at 5:00 pm and will close after the dinner portion. Look for cakes, bars, pies, bread, and more!
STUDENT PERFORMANCES
Experience a glimpse into everyday life at JCA as our students lead us in praise and worship, just as they do each morning in chapel. They are excited to share their God given talents and celebrate what God has done this year.
HONORING DEDICATED STAFF
Help us honor staff members who have dedicated their time, passion, and love to Joshua Christian Academy. We will highlight our teachers who have been a part of the JCA family for 5 years, as well as honor a humble leader who has been here since the roots of JCA were planted.
