Family Christian Academy is dedicated to helping home
schooling families educate their children in the Lord.
Christian parents' major goal should be as God commands in
Deuteronomy 6; to teach the commandments to their
children. They should be examples of Christian life and
conduct, exercising themselves above all other duties to
care for their children, the highest of which is their
children's spiritual welfare.
According to Paul in Ephesians 6:4 and Colossians 3:21, as
well as God's instruction in many Old Testament passages
(Psalms 78:3, Proverbs 1:8, 6:20), it is the
responsibility of parents to provide their children
upbringing that prepares them for lives pleasing to God.
It is the family, not the church or church school, that is
primarily responsible for the Biblical and spiritual
training of the children.
The very core of Christian nature is this: The heart of
the father must be turned to the heart of the child in
order to bring the heart of the child to the heart of the
Savior (Luke 1:17).
One of the key goals of the gospel is to re-establish
God's will for the family in a correct relationship
between fathers and children. Through the teaching of
repentance and the Lordship of Christ, fathers will become
dedicated to their children in an attitude of
righteousness.
Family Christian Academy believes parent-directed
education will:
-Control negative peer pressure, destructive influences,
and various temptations.
-Give a child the ability and flexibility to explore their
God-given interests.
-Develop a child's self confidence and greatly enhance
their cognitive skills.
-Give a child the opportunity to learn about life from the
rule book given to us by our Creator, the Bible, the
source of true wisdom.
-Give a child the opportunity to develop loving
relationships with parents and siblings.
We believe that because parents love their children (and
God gave them to parents), they are best suited to teach,
guide and discipline them.
Christian Standards
FCA is not racially discriminatory and does not exclude
families from enrollment in its programs and activities
based on race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin.
Family Christian Academy fully endorses the Biblical
standards that believe the Bible to be the inspired word
of God, not open to argument or debate, but rather to be
obeyed.
It is therefore the policy of FCA that any family not
adhering to Biblical standards in the home will be subject
to suspension or expulsion by the Board of Directors. A
thorough review by the Board will be necessary before
reinstatement may occur.
