Fall Creek Falls Camping Trip

A paradise of more than 20,000 acres sprawled across the eastern top of the rugged Cumberland Plateau, Fall Creek Falls State Park is one of the most scenic and spectacular outdoor recreation areas in America. Laced with cascades, gorges, waterfalls, streams, and lush stands of virgin hardwood timber, the park beckons those who enjoy nature at her finest. While Fall Creek Falls, at 256 feet, is the highest waterfall in the eastern United States, other waterfalls in the park are Piney and Cane Creek Falls and Cane Creek Cascades.

Praise Dance Classes
Start Oct. 1st

Praise His name with dancing...
Psalm 149:3

At FCA the goals of Praise Dancing are completely different from those of secular dancing. The focus of Praise Dance is not entertain an audience, but to perform solely for God's glory and majesty. In order to participate, you do not have to fit into a certain age, size or ability group. You must be willing to dance for the purpose of praising God.

Please sign up at the front office. Classes are held on Fridays from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm. The cost is $40 per month, which can be added to tuition bank draft or you may prepay in advance for the eight-month course. The dance instructor is Ms. Rebekah Gregory; you may contact her by e-mail at RebekahG@familychristianacademy.comm.
