Askewville Assembly of God serves Bertie County and beyond through worship, Christian teaching, community ministry, and Bethel Assembly Christian Academy. The church’s educational ministry provides classes for children from K3 through 12th grade and is designed to help young people develop academically, spiritually, and personally.
Its ministry emphasizes four continuing steps of Christian growth: Worship, Connect, Grow, and Lead. Through church services, messages, podcasts, and the academy, Askewville Assembly of God seeks to help people learn more about Jesus, deepen their faith, and live Christlike lives in their culture.
Bethel Assembly Christian Academy
Bethel Assembly Christian Academy is an extension of Askewville Assembly, serving Bertie County and beyond. We have classes for children from K3 through 12th grade. We meet all state educational requirements.
The academy combines academic education with Christian discipleship. Its stated purpose is to help students succeed in their studies while learning to approach life through faith, discipline, responsibility, and service.
The Story of the Academy
Bethel Assembly Christian Academy was born out of the vision of the Roy Ottis Denton, Sr. in 1980. The People of Askewville Assembly decided the best way to build the future was to equip young people with the education and discipline it takes to live Christlike lives in our culture.
Over the years, what began as a ministry to our church sprouted into a blessing to the community. The academy therefore represents both an educational ministry of Askewville Assembly and an outreach to families in the wider community.

Beliefs and Christian Formation
We want each child to SUCCEED in all academics, and we believe the beginning of all knowledge is fear of the Lord. BACA is unashamed of the Gospel and we hope to send the brightest believers into the world to bring glory to God in all they do!
This educational vision places academic achievement and spiritual formation together. Students are encouraged to pursue excellence in learning while developing a clear Christian identity and a desire to honor God through their future work and responsibilities.
Core Values
The academy identifies five central values that guide its approach to education and daily life:
- God First in All Things
- Honor All People
- Personal Responsibility
- Consistent Development
- Servant Hearts
These values connect belief with conduct. They emphasize devotion to God, respect for others, accountability, steady personal growth, and a willingness to serve.
Growing Through Worship, Connection, Growth, and Leadership
We were never intended to reach a place in life and stop. Pause, maybe, but never stop. We believe in FOUR steps that will keep up us all growing and getting BETTER in every part of life.
- Worship
- Connect
- Grow
- Lead
This four-part framework presents Christian development as an ongoing process. Worship directs attention toward God, connection strengthens relationships within the church, growth deepens faith and character, and leadership encourages people to serve others.
