First Baptist Academy
Our mission is to equip Infant-8th Grade students with the TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD while developing their character, intellect, and potential to explore, create, challenge, and lead. Psalm 86:12; Matthew 28:19; II Timothy 3:16-17 The educational philosophy of First Baptist Academy (“FBA”) is based on a God-centered view that all truth is God’s truth, and that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God which contains this truth. We acknowledge and affirm that every person has been created in the image of God with a unique identity. Thus, we want every person in our school to grow as an individual; acknowledging, appreciating, and pursing the identity which God has given and following the course which God has established. FBA challenges Infant-8th Grade students to attain academic, emotional, physical, and spiritual excellence to the glory of God. This philosophy guides our endeavors to promote high academic standards while helping students achieve skill in creative and critical thinking using an integrated curriculum across all subject areas. Thus, students will be able to pursue the post-secondary education of their choosing preparing them to be knowledgeable Christian participants in our nation and the world. Today, our alumni are serving and leading in their communities making an impact in professions such as education, business, medicine and ministry, for His Kingdom.
