OUR HISTORY
Eugene and Laura Smith
Lead Pastors
City Church Academy began in 2007 as a result of the vision of Pastor Eugene & Laura Smith, following the purchase of the Page Academy School building on Airport Blvd in Sanford. Beginning as a preschool, CCA was founded by committed teachers who, on their own time, went door to door into the neighborhoods, inviting families to enroll their preschoolers.
In just a few short years, CCA began adding elementary years, starting with Kindergarten, and continuing through 5th grade. In 2020, CCA relocated to its brand new state-of-the-art building at 1701 Orange Blvd in Sanford, and is now preparing for expansion to include middle and eventually a private high school program on the same property, where it will continue to raise champions and scholars to be world changers for Jesus.
