The Association of Christian College Athletics (ACCA) is an organization of collegiate athletics in the United States. It was incorporated to provide an opportunity for smaller Christian college members to compete on an equal level of competition with schools of like size. After the ACCA's 2024 men's and women's basketball championship tournaments, updates to its website ceased. [1] By July 2025, the ACCA had allowed the URL for its website to expire, [2] and its Twitter account had been inactive since March 18, 2024. [3]
The ACCA was established in 1983 as the "National Bible College Athletic Association" (NBCAA) to provide a national organization to hold championships, name All-Americans, scholar athletes and promote member colleges. The name was changed to the Association of Christian College Athletics (ACCA) in June 2004. A commissioner was hired and a plan for membership growth was established.
The aim of the ACCA was to promote the education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation.
