PE Teacher

Mr. Jon Bianchi

Hi, my name is Jon Bianchi and I am the physical education teacher at ACA. This is my first year at ACA and 5th year teaching overall. I got saved and became a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ when I was 23 years old. I grew up in a catholic home and went through all the traditions Catholicism presents in the catholic church but had never been told about what true salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ. Although I believed in God and knew that Christ died for my sins, I did not realize that without his death, burial and resurrection, I would have no hope for my sins being forgiven and having new life. It was in 2013 when the gospel had been shared to me. I read the book “What is the Gospel?” by Greg Gilbert and truly understood the eternal significance of Christ’s sacrifice and shed blood on the cross. I then realized my spiritual condition and my desperate need for a savior. I realized I could not do anything in of myself to be saved from my sins and stand righteous before a holy God. It was at that time I repented of my sins and placed my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and became a born again Christian.

I really enjoy being active and staying busy. I am very involved in service at my local church at Alathea Baptist Church and have strong passion to see others come to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and making disciple makers. Galatians 6:9 says “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” This is one of the first verses I remember reading right before I got saved and memorized as a believer. It is a great reminder to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ and have an eternal perspective in all that we do knowing there is a reward for our obedience. I also enjoy doing crossfit and exercising. I am excited to be the new PE teacher at ACA and build life lasting relationships with the staff and students!

Project Serve

Thank you for your support!

What is Project Serve?
ACA’s Project Serve is an event in which students, staff, and families serve our community. This supports ACA’s mission of building Christian character by instilling in our students a strong sense of their roles in the community, church, and family.

As students go out into the community to serve, they are also inviting friends and family to support ACA’s Annual Fund, to advance the school’s mission.

Serving Others
As we raise funds for our school, our students, staff, and faculty will serve others in our community and various ministries throughout February and March. A few of these service activities include:

A Meals from the Heartland meal packing event
Special projects in elementary classrooms serving various ministries
Community Service day

Supporting Project Serve
All funds raised through Project Serve go to the ACA Annual Fund to benefit our school! Join us by supporting our efforts!

For questions, please reach out to Hans Hoeksema, Advancement Director (hans.hoeksema@acaeagles.net) or Lori Blake, Advancement Coordinator (lori.blake@acaeagles.net).
