FellowshipChristianAcademy
School Board
FCA seeks, first and foremost, to raise up champions for Christ who will lead our community in social and academic excellence.
Psalm 127 reminds us that children are a gift from God. The Psalm goes on to say that children are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. Fellowship Christian Academy believes that as God graciously gives these precious gifts to parents, they are to reciprocate their gratitude for this gift by aiming the lives of their children toward Him and His love for humanity, like an archer aiming an arrow toward a desired target. FCA seeks to help parents in this endeavor.
We respect that FCA students and families may come from different backgrounds and denominations of the Christian Faith. FCA’s teaching will focus on the neo-fundamentals of our shared faith and the Scriptures.
​
The FCA School Board meets quarterly, and parents are highly encouraged to attend. Any questions for the school board can be emailed to fcaschoolboard@fcacarthage.com.
