Restoration Ministries Christian Academy (RMCA) is a private K-12 Christian school located in Indianola, Mississippi. An outreach ministry of the Restoration Ministries of the Apostolic Faith, it as of 2015 has 84 students from the counties of Humphreys, Leflore, Sunflower, and Washington.[1] Its student body is mostly black, and many black families wishing to avoid the public school system, as of 2012, choose to enroll their children in RMCA instead of the majority white Indianola Academy.[2]

It was established in 2005 by Richard and Vivian Michelle Jenkins, two pastors.[1]

It holds an annual May Day and on that day it gives the titles of "king and queen" to a pair of students from the elementary level and a pair of students from the high school level.[3]

"Tradition and history partly explain why the scholarships aren't more widely utilized: Black families know their children could be isolated and shunned at the academy, and those with the means and desire to avoid the public schools have long relied on other -- more historically welcoming -- private schools, including a tiny, nearly all-black Christian academy in Indianola." - The article does not mention RMCA by name, but there is only one other private school in Indianola, Mississippi.
