⛪️ KINGVILLE ACADEMY CHURCH TOUR — ST. DELIGHT

Another church has officially been added to the Kingville Academy Church Tour, and this stop carries a powerful preservation story of its own.

Join Stanly Avengers, Inc. on Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 11 AM–2 PM at St. Delight, 520 Wall Street, Albemarle, NC, as Dion Brooks, Founder & Executive Director of Stanly Avengers, Inc., shares the history, progress, and vision of the Kingville Academy Project.

We’re grateful to Pastor Edward Barrino and First Lady Tina Barrino for the invitation and opportunity to bring the presentation to St. Delight.

This stop is especially meaningful because St. Delight’s story connects naturally to the heart of the Kingville Academy mission. Along with sharing the vision for Kingville Academy, we’ll also recognize the church’s own historic Rock Church legacy — a reminder that preserving the places that carried our faith, families, and community history matters.

Before the Campus, There Was the Church.

Honoring the Rock Church Legacy.
Celebrating the Ministry Still Standing.

📅 Sunday, October 18, 2026
⏰ 11 AM–2 PM
📍 St. Delight
520 Wall Street, Albemarle, NC

October dates for the Kingville Academy Church Tour are now FULL. 🙏🏾

If your church would like to host us, November dates are still available. Send us a message or visit www.stanlyavengers.org and select Contact Us.

Conserve the Present. Preserve the Past. Celebrate the Future.

Meet Shawna Canada, founder of Dapper Elite Academy!💙

I wanted to share this so you can hear from Shawna herself about the heart behind her work. We’re excited to welcome her as an Alliance Avenger and bring her perspective on confidence, emotional intelligence, and anti-bullying to our youth workshops.

Career skills matter. So do the skills our young people need to navigate life, relationships, and the challenges they face every day. Take a minute to hear Shawna’s story—and stay tuned for what we’re building together! 👑
