Missions at FCS

We want to be known as a school that is generous, loving, hard working, and loyal.

It is our sincere desire at Faith Christian School to instill into the hearts of our students a longing to serve God that will last for their entire lives. As with any child, the hearts of our students are constantly being bombarded by the world and its expectations. It has been our prayer that God would bring into the life of the school, opportunities that allow the students to serve and give. Thankfully, and to our delight, He has done just that! Over and over, He makes us aware of needs that we can help with. We want to be known as a school that is generous, loving, hard working, and loyal. Our students literally delight in the act of raising money and giving it away. Not only do we give, but we also PRAY ……. and work hard! For instance, we praise God for the opportunity that we have had to form a special bond with a children’s home in Uganda. God has used this relationship and experience to touch the hearts of our students in a profound and life-changing way. Every year for the past 30 years we have held a Missions Day celebration where we have activities that expose our students to God’s commandment to take the Gospel message to all the world. We are a school that puts a strong emphasis on missions along with an academic program that stresses a Christian worldview. In doing so, we are confident we are offering a well-rounded Christian education at Faith Christian School.
