Bethlehem Christian Academy
Background
Bethlehem Christian Academy is a private K-12 school located in Bethlehem, Ga.—a town halfway between Atlanta and Athens, Georgia. The Academy is affiliated with Bethlehem Church (a Clever Client) and shares a campus with the church’s main location off Highway 316.
Bethlehem Christian Academy reached out to Clever to conduct a rebrand with the desire to modernize their current logo and visual identity. Along with this rebrand they needed a Brand Guide to provide clear standards and guidelines for their internal team to follow to maintain brand consistency.
Project Overview
In May 2022, BCA approached Clever looking to modernize their brand. They’d outgrown their existing visual identity and needed a trusted partner who could assist with all aspects of the rebrand. Bethlehem Church was already a Clever client, so the partnership made perfect sense.
The Clever design team worked with Bethlehem Christian Academy’s leadership and internal marketing staff to deliver a modern brand in line with their vision. This included a new logo with a new crest and wordmark, as well as a comprehensive brand guide to maintain standards and styling for how the brand would be applied across their school.
Once the new brand launched, Clever continued to collaborate with BCA to create updated marketing materials, online platforms, and billboards, and update specific department logos. The Academy continues to work with Clever to roll out further ways to leverage the new brand assets, including a mini-brand guide for the athletics department and branding for school uniforms.
As clients of Clever Marketing, both Bethlehem Church and Bethlehem Christian Academy have directly seen the benefits of working with a marketing partner who understands the value of faith-based organizations and strong branding.

About BCA
Like most anything great, Bethlehem Christian Academy was started out of love. God chose as its leaders a businessman whose father had given him the gift of a Christian education, a young mother with a dream, and a church who was willing to accept the fingerprints of children and families, as they became part of the school family.
Confirmation that BCA was God’s plan was evident from the very beginning. A board was appointed from members of Bethlehem Church and Rhonda Whiting, the young mother with the dream, was named the Head of School. On May 15, 2000, the board met for the first time and prayed for 40 students for the preschool.
On September 4th of the same year, Bethlehem First Baptist Preschool opened its doors with 68 students and 7 staff members. The next year, the board continued to follow in their faithfulness to God’s calling and added a half-day kindergarten class.
Final Product
“Working with Clever has been a dream! Clever has helped guide us in establishing what our vision for the branding of our school is, and how to best implement it. They are knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and most importantly patient!”
