Our Purpose

First Christian Academy was founded in 1982 for the purpose of providing a quality Christian Education for the people of this community. Pastor Edward Hathcoat and his wife Karen felt the leading of God's hand in starting a school that could once again honor God and place His word as the center of the educational process as it was when our country was founded by our forefathers. Twenty plus years have passed and our purpose has not changed. Teach young people not only how to make a living, but also teach them how to live a Godly life.

Our Promise
