Letter from Director

From the desk of Taron Leonard

Dear UCA Families and Community,

Welcome to the Visual, Performing, and Worship Arts Department at United Christian Academy!

It is truly an honor and a joy to serve both the Lord and our students in this capacity. I am grateful to be part of a community that is not only vibrant and diverse, but also deeply committed to excellence and authenticity in the arts. Every day, I am reminded that the creativity within our students is a reflection of the Creator we serve—and that is something we do not take lightly.

Our department exists to do more than teach skills—we are here to cultivate purpose. Through music, dance, visual art, and creative expression, we strive to equip students to impact their world for Christ. The arts provide a powerful avenue for students to grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially while discovering and developing the gifts God has placed inside of them.

We are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for every student to shine—to not only refine their talents, but to use them as instruments of worship and testimony. Whether on stage, in the classroom, or in the community, our goal is that each experience draws them closer to God, the ultimate Creator, who has made each of us in His image.

I am incredibly excited about what God is doing in and through this department. As we continue to grow, I look forward to partnering with you to ensure that every student is supported, challenged, and inspired to become all that they are called to be.

Thank you for trusting us with your students. It is a privilege to walk alongside them on this journey.

With gratitude and expectation,

Mr. Taron Leonard
