Our History
Faith Christian Academy opened in 1979 as a ministry of Faith Assembly of God. Pastor Carl Stephens, an advocate of Christian education, has faithfully supported the academy from its inception. Under the leadership of administrators Mrs. Margaret Hunt, Dr. Charles Smith, and Dr. Andrew Rumbaugh, FCA has become a reputable, college prep school with an enrollment of 680 students. In 2012, the church and academy moved to new facilities at 9307 Curry Ford Road. The academy has grown from an initial graduating class of 8 students to regularly graduating more than 50 students per year.
Faith Christian Academy and Faith Christian Preschool together serve more than 900 students. Students experience weekly chapel services held by the leadership teams at Faith Assembly with an integrated approach to ministry unlike other Christian schools across the country. Living a spirit-filled life is one of the deepest priorities at the academy. Students live fuller, richer lives when they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
