About Us

Mission

Our Misson

Faith Christian Center accepts God’s commission to teach His ways to the next generation and to train up Christian leaders for all walks of life. Faith Christian Center, through Faith Christian Academy (FCA), commits to this call of God and will pursue excellence in all areas to nurture, develop, and sustain our youth in God’s calling for their lives.

By God’s help, Faith Christian Academy will empower students to be leaders who will seek God’s will and be equipped to successfully meet the spiritual, relational, governmental, cultural, and intellectual challenges of their world.

Vision

Our Philosophy

Faith Christian Academy is an extended ministry of Faith Christian Center and accepts the God given responsibility of the home and the church to educate children. The purpose of this ministry is to educate the whole child – spirit, soul, and body.

Faith Christian Academy is established on Biblical principles and uses the Bible as a standard to conduct its business. Faith Christian Center is determined to use the authority of the Holy Scripture as the foundation for all educational practices.

The knowledge of Truth through the avenue of academia will be pursued knowing the Truth will free the minds of our youth. “Ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

Faith Christian Academy, as a ministry of Faith Christian Center, provides an opportunity for students to be educated in a Godly environment and taught by teachers who are, themselves, born again and led by the Spirit. We believe the entire process of education is a means used by the Holy Spirit to bring students into fellowship with God, to develop the mind of Christ in them, and to train them in Godly living.
