Believers In Christ Christian Academy was founded in 1990 through the vision and faith of Dr. Cheryl McBride Brown. Inspired by a call to serve the community from Vera Jones, one of our founding educators, Dr. Brown, then Director of Psychiatric Nursing at Milwaukee County Hospital, stepped away from her career to establish a training academy rooted in Christian principles. With minimal resources but unwavering faith, the Academy began its mission to nurture and equip the next generation of leaders.
