Statement |
|
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
is determined to use the authority of the Holy Scripture as the
foundation for all educational practices.
Faith Christian Academy accepts God's commission to teach His ways to
the next generation and to train up Christian leaders for all walks of
life. Our school commits to this call of God and will pursue
excellence in all areas in order 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. |
| History and
Governance |
|
Faith Christian Academy, which is located
in Pasadena, Texas, was organized and founded by a pioneer Christian
pastor, Brother John McDuff, in 1973 with 52 students meeting in a
fellowship hall of the church. His personal quest for a
Christian school was generated by a desire to educate our children from
a Christian perspective and to raise up strong Christian leaders for our
world. The combined ministries of Faith Christian Academy
School and the Child Care Center were the fulfillment of that vision.
Our passion is to train and equip our students for ministry through a
well-rounded program of academics, athletics, fine arts and outreach.
Faith Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, or national or ethnic origin in any school administered program. International
students are a part of our school life and we encourage registrants from
countries worldwide. |
| Accreditation |
|
Faith Christian Academy is a private,
Christian School founded by the vision of the pastor, church board, and
members of the Faith Assembly of God Church. It is accredited
through the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools (ACTS). This
Assemblies of God school organization provides member schools an
opportunity to be a part of an emerging national Christian accreditation
association, which is recognized in Texas by TEPSAC and TANS and
nationally by NCPSA. They are headquartered in Springfield,
Missouri and function through an Executive Board and a Director.
Faith Christian Academy is also accredited by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools (SACS). SACS is the accrediting
agency that services colleges and schools (both public and private) in
11 states in the southern United States as well as some schools south of

Students in junior and senior high grades

who qualify at the district level. |
