What is your favorite memory of FCS?  A moment I remember well is when I observed (from a distance) students gathering around and praying for a classmate after he received horrible news about his family.  It was students following the lead of the Holy Spirit on their own, no teacher direction needed.

What does Faith Christian mean to you?  FCS has been a place to call home since 1990.  It is a place to use my talents that God has given me.  It is where my children have attended and been nurtured.  It is a family - lifting each other up when we are hurting, not only in prayer, but in word and deed as well.
