A Letter From DR. JUSTIN SMITH
In my two decades of working with students, I have found that the best school cultures rest on humility and generosity. Yes, we can be excellent academicians. Yes, we can showcase talent in athletic and artistic endeavors. And, yes, we can have the most enthusiastic student sections at ball games. But, in my estimation, school communities that value humility and generosity show the love of God in myriad deep and tangible ways.
The annual review is an LRCA publication designed to illustrate the generosity of the Warriorville community, to detail our fiscal stewardship, and to promote the value of giving back to the school we love. It is with humility that we say thank you to all who contributed time, talent, and treasure to advance the mission of Little Rock Christian Academy and who participate in the transformation of lives on campus.
We’ve come a long way since the founding of our school in 1977. We’ve been witness to the providential hand of the Lord, and, by His grace, we have served students, teachers, and families with Truth, Excellence, Love, and Partnership (LRCA Core Values). This is only possible because the DNA of LRCA remains true to its founding. No Jesus, no school.
From all of us in Warriorville, we sincerely thank all of you who have contributed in meaningful and substantial ways. Our vow is to steward your gifts well, to have a laser-like focus on our mission, and to elevate the opportunities for students to grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. In addition to your generous giving, we thank you for your prayers and partnership. May the partnership power of The Golden Triangle – Home, Church, School – be an encouragement and support to you and yours.
With humility and in appreciation of your generosity,
Dr. Justin A. Smith Head of School/President
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
A Letter From JIM FINK
“Take Heart, I have overcome the world”, these are the words of Jesus as recorded in John 16:33 as he was speaking to his disciples just prior to his crucifixion and resurrection.
The mission of Little Rock Christian Academy to provide a PK-12th grade education characterized by excellence in the pursuit of truth from a Christcentered worldview is needed as much today as when the school was founded in 1977. Same mission, same world, just a different time, and set of challenges and needs. We can take heart as we look into the future knowing we still have Jesus at the core of what we do everyday in the Christian education of our students.
When strolling across the 72 beautiful acres of the Warrior campus, seeing the 1,700 students from over 1,000 families being served by 300 faithful faculty and staff and meditating on these words, there is a great sense of joy and thanksgiving for the foundation that is here. There is also a realization there is still room to improve and grow to make this place special for those to come. Some of those improvements include more common space for middle and junior high students, permanent seating for chapel space in Warrior Hall, a pavilion in the center of campus, and an additional space for faculty and staff toddlers and babies.
Realizing the faith, courage, support, and hard work of so many individuals over the years, and more importantly, God’s provisions and providence brings me to my knees in gratitude. Please join me in thanking God for His goodness upon Little Rock Christian Academy, its students, faculty, staff, and families.
We have more to do in the name of Jesus.
Jim Fink Chief Financial Officer

A Letter From GENE WHISENHUNT
On behalf of the Board of Trust, I want to thank you for being a part of the LRCA community. Our mission is to provide an excellent education to each student that we are entrusted with at LRCA while we also point them to a genuine and consequential faith in Jesus Christ. Our Board strives to protect this mission in each decision that we make. However, we believe it is our partnership with you and the church that makes this all possible. So, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family’s journey and for your contribution to LRCA.
As I reflect on the 2023-2024 school year, I am grateful for another great year. LRCA, through the commitment and dedication of our faculty and staff, impacted the lives of approximately 1,700 students and their families. We witnessed our students excel in academics, athletics, and the arts. It was significant that the expansion of the elementary school was completed as we entered this school year. The addition was transformational for the lives of our elementary students. This followed many other additions to our campus over the last decade. This would not be possible without donors that recognized the importance of the Kingdom work that is occurring at LRCA. We are thankful to these donors who have provided significant resources for the expansion of our facilities allowing so many families to experience an excellent education at LRCA.
The 2023-2024 school year was a year of transition as Dr. Justin Smith became the Head of School. Dr. Smith and his family spent six years on our leadership team, so he was not new to our community. He led with vision, courage, humility, and commitment to our mission and families during his first year in this position. We are grateful that the Lord led the Smith family to LRCA.
I consider it an honor and blessing to be a part of the LRCA community. Our family first experienced this community as our three children are graduates and now three of our grandchildren have begun the journey as Warriors. Their young hearts and minds remind me of the importance of what occurs at this school each day. Our theme for the last year, “Like a Tree Planted”, has become my prayer for my grandchildren and all the students of LRCA: that they will be firmly planted in the Lord, that in all they do they will prosper, and that they will not wither from the pressures and voices of our world.
We are grateful for the Lord’s abundant blessings of this past year. The Lord has been good to Warriorville.
With Gratitude,
Gene Whisenhunt, Chairman Board of Trust

“STRUCTURING” EDUCATION
Non-Tuition Funded Enhancements Build Students Up
LRCA’s Annual Fund is a critical tool in accomplishing our mission providing vital resources that scaffold the excellent and immersive Christian education from which students benefit. An important building block is the yearly fundraiser, Warrior Blitz. PTF plays a key role in the efforts, while school leadership carefully stewards the dollars to tangibly and positively impact the lives of every Warrior, from the smallest to the tallest!
Many of the new campus enrichments made possible during the 2023-2024 school year through the Annual Fund include the Elementary’s northside awning, an additional K4 classroom, and upgraded play spaces like the Octoball pit, refurbished turf expanses, and soccer goals. New modulars uniquely fitted for Fine Arts and Learner Services increased the bandwidth of those programs for additional activities and a testing center. Carpool for the Middle School/ Junior High was redesigned and upgraded to make drop off and pick up even more safe and effective. Entrance security for the Junior High was augmented. The High School Office and teacher workrooms have been reorganized and refurbished for increased efficiency. Safety film was installed at all school building entrances. Technology such as iPads, Chromebooks, TV monitors, and Print Shop improvements were funded as well.
All of these projects and much more build into our students and bolster their overall Warriorville experience!

A Letter From DR. GARY ARNOLD
We often say Little Rock Christian is multi-generational. But what do we mean by that?
Here’s the best picture: children on the playground, parents volunteering in the hallway, and grandparents waiting for their grandchildren in the dismissal line.
Here’s the second-best picture of a multi-generational school: parents, grandparents, alumni, and long-standing friends blessing our dear school, the Lord’s planting, with gifts for the future.
Forty-seven years ago, LRCA was planted with 12 kindergarten students and now educates over 1,700 young souls. Similarly, decades ago, a wise board of trust established a 501(c)(3) foundation with zero dollars in the account. Today, these seeds of faith have grown into an endowment fund of over one million dollars. The beauty of an endowment lies in the fact that gifts to the LRCA Endowment are not spent. On the contrary, these designated gifts generate funds for teacher development, benevolence, tuition assistance, and more.
In other words, current generations bless future generations. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior!”
I encourage you to consider amplifying our identity as a multi-generational school by the simple step of including LRCA in your estate planning which is what Karen and I have done. Or, you can designate your next gift to the school’s endowment. If this tickles your fancy, I’d love to share more about how our endowment works.
Here’s a fact: “Jesus in the classroom changes everything.” Come and see.
Gary B. Arnold President
Little Rock Christian Academy Foundation
More and more, LRCA is a multigenerational institution established with an enduring, relevant mission - to serve well, to educate well, and to anchor everything we do in the truth and grace of Jesus.
- Dr. Gary Arnold
Long Live Your Values
What is your definition of education? A great poet calls it the “lighting of the fire.” Knowing Jesus, the Church historically calls for education to develop an understanding of all that is “true, good, and beautiful.” Melding the two, at Little Rock Christian, we believe it is to form students in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding with an uncompromising commitment to teaching and modeling Jesus Christ. In the spirit of the Psalmist (Psalm 1) and the Prophet (Jeremiah 17), we ask you to plant trees with and ensure Little Rock Christian’s posterity by including us in your legacy planning.
Making a gift is as simple as talking to the Little Rock Christian Foundation and your financial advisor. And, we’ll be here every step of the way to ensure that your gift helps Little Rock Christian Academy flourish.
