About Us
Our Vision
"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, bounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ." - Colossians 2:6-8
We aim to train young men and women who think clearly and listen carefully
with discernment and understanding; who reason persuasively and
articulate precisely; who are capable of evaluating their entire range of experience
in the light of the Scriptures –
possessing a Biblical worldview of all of life.
We aim to find our students well-prepared in all situations, possessing both knowledge and the wisdom of how to use it. We desire they be socially graceful and spiritually gracious. We desire they have a heart for the lost and the courage to seek to dissuade those who are stumbling towards destruction. And all these,
we desire them to possess with humility and gratitude to God.
Our History
First Christian Academy was formally created by the First Baptist Church of High Springs, Inc., in general conference assembled, on April 23, 2006. On January 27, 2008, in a special meeting, the church affirmed a recommendation by the school boards of Hiz Kidz First, First Christian Academy, the Personnel and Stewardship committees, and the deacons, to consolidate Hiz Kidz First and First Christian Academy, beginning with the 2008-09 school year, under the name First Christian Academy. This action effectively merged Hiz Kidz and FCA, creating one school, and one mission.
