Story by Ohio Conference Staff 

In 1925, Ohio Conference’s First Church of Seventh-day Adventists in Cincinnati established a school on William Howard Taft Road. Many years later, the school became known as Cincinnati Junior Academy and, in 1969, relocated to its current Clifton Avenue campus, continuing its mission under the name Clifton Christian Academy (CCA). 

“For 100 years, our school has been dedicated to academic excellence, faith-based learning and the development of servant leaders. Our mission extends beyond our faith community to serve the community at large,” says Mike Ellis, board chair of the school.

Schools across the union were a vital part of the evangelistic vision of Pentecost 2025, using funds for special evangelism events to reach their students and communities. In the 70-plus participating Columbia Union schools, students of all ages—elementary through university level—experienced the joy of allowing the Holy Spirit to work through them.
