Greetings in His Service!
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” —Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)
Whether it’s the end of hurricane season or you changing your clock for Daylight Saving Time, autumn helps us remember that nothing stays the same forever. Change is constant, but that’s all right. God has perfect timing, and His purposes and plans reach into eternity.
- Faith Christian Academy is pleased to welcome Mrs. Erin Land as our new Assistant Principal for School Year 2018-2019. Erin has a wealth of knowledge and experience in education. She is married and the mother of four beautiful children.
- Congratulations and thank you to Mrs. Melissa Gibson who is our new PTO President. Plans are presently underway for a Fall Family Fun Night. Information will be forthcoming. For information about PTO membership and events, contact the school at fcaangelspto@gmail.com.

We are blessed to have Melissa Gibson join us as our new PTO President for SY 2018-2019! Melissa has been hard at work planning and coordinating with staff on activities such as our book fair, Fall Family Fun Night, and October's CFA Spirit Night, which benefited not only our school, but also The Donna Foundation for breast cancer research. Thank you, Melissa, for helping to get our year off to a great start!

We believe God has set us on a mission to grow His kingdom by investing in our students and programs. On behalf of our present student body and those children whom we have yet to meet, I pray you,

Guardian Angels,
will become an active and faithful supporter of FCA.
Our goal is to raise $50,000.
Your financial assistance is greatly needed and appreciated.
