chapel
At our school, spiritual growth extends far beyond the traditional classroom. In addition to daily Bible classes, our students gather once a week for dedicated chapel services tailored specifically to each age group—elementary, middle school, and high school. These weekly gatherings feature engaging worship, intentional prayer, and meaningful preaching designed to speak directly to the distinct developmental and spiritual stages of our students. To ensure every message is both relevant and impactful, our dedicated kid and teen pastors intentionally curate and organize a diverse lineup of speakers. This structured yet dynamic approach is vital for our school community: it creates a unified space where students can step away from academic demands, encounter God alongside their peers, and build a lasting personal foundation of faith.

Service
Developing Christlike character traits, such as a heart for servanthood, is foundational to an authentic Christian education. At Faith Christian Academy, our middle and high school students are guided by one central GOAL: to gain a global vision for the Great Commission by connecting with believers worldwide who are actively sharing the Gospel.
Rooted in the example of Jesus and His disciples, our GOAL program complements these global insights with hands-on local outreach. This allows students to minister both spiritually and physically to our neighbors right here in Eastern North Carolina. Alongside this commitment to service, we foster class unity, school spirit, and wholesome fellowship through vibrant activities planned throughout the school year. By offering practical leadership opportunities, we encourage every student to discover their God-given talents and use them for His glory, both within our FCA family and in the community beyond.
carline crew
From Cars to Class, We Help You Pass! The Carline Crew is a leadership opportunity for our 5th grade students. They work alongside our Teacher Assistants during morning drop off, assisting with important tasks like opening car doors for our younger students, guiding them safely to the curb and walking them to the school entrance, and helping maintain a smooth and efficient traffic flow. If you would like your 5th grader to participate in this program, register here!
library
At Faith Christian Academy, our library is a vibrant, welcoming safe haven where young minds love to explore, imagine, and discover just how much fun reading can be! For our elementary students, visiting the library once a week is a highlight of their schedule. Every single week, they get the excitement of browsing the shelves, picking out their very own books to take home, and diving into engaging activities that bring the magic of reading to life. From timeless adventures in series like Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and American Adventure, to classic tales, beloved Christian fiction, and inspiring biographies, there is a captivating story waiting for every child. Our collection also features wonderful resources for growing minds—from encyclopedias and magazines to history books, dictionaries, and historical yearbooks that let students flip back through the decades. It’s more than just a room full of books; it’s an interactive, joyful space where a lifelong love for reading and learning begins!

SCHOOL RETREATS & FIELD TRIPS
Each September, middle school and high school students attend a school retreat. The 6th through 8th grade classes experience a one-day outing for the purpose of team building and leadership to start each school year. The 9th through 12th grade classes go to the Anchorage Christian Camp in Lake Waccamaw, NC to experience a three-day retreat. These school retreats are a great way for friendships to develop and classmates to bond as they spend time away from school while under the influence of good, wholesome preaching and fun‐filled activities. Long lasting, spiritual decisions are often made at these special retreats and events.
Throughout the school year, all students of FCA embark on at least one field trip! Field trips are not just a break from the classroom routine – they are an essential part of a well-rounded education. By stepping outside the four walls, students gain firsthand experiences that textbooks and lectures cannot quite capture. Field trips make learning come alive, sparking curiosity and solidifying concepts in a way that sticks. They also provide access to things schools might not have, like historical artifacts or specialized equipment. The benefits go beyond academics – field trips build social skills as students navigate new environments together, and they foster a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world beyond the classroom.
LUNCH PROGRAM
Filling hungry bellies and fostering a sense of community, the school cafeteria at Faith Christian Academy is a vital hub during the day. Lunchtime becomes more than just a meal; it is a chance to socialize with friends, unwind from classes, and recharge for a productive learning experience. Bring a meal from home to be warmed in one of the many microwaves, or purchase a meal through the Family Portal. Snacks, candy, drinks, and ice cream can also be purchased from the cafeteria.
extended care
Hectic work schedules do not always coincide with school hours. That’s why at Faith Christian Academy we offer extended care for students who need to arrive early or stay late.
Morning care begins at 6:30 AM and ends at 7:30 AM. Students are dismissed to their classroom at 7:30 AM. Students who arrive during morning care hours are charged the daily rate.
Afternoon care begins at 3:15 PM and ends at 5:30 PM. Students who are not picked up during carline are automatically sent to aftercare and charged the daily rate.
Please call as soon as possible in the event of any emergency or delay! We do not leave until every student has been picked up. Safety is our #1 priority!
Students are welcome to bring snacks! The teacher will instruct students when it is appropriate to eat their snack. Eating a snack during morning care may pose a bit of a challenge depending on time. So, we recommend students eat breakfast before coming to school!
No extended care is provided when the school is closed. FCA is closed on all holidays, scheduled days off, and breaks the school observes. There is no extended care on early dismissal days. If FCA is closed for any reason, no extended care is provided.
