CHAPEL

Chapel is a special time at Families of Faith Christian Academy.  Beginning Fall 2009, our elementary students and Grade 6-12 students will have two age appropriate Chapel services each week.  Friday Chapel will be an all-school service as we come together to pray and read God's Word before stepping into our classrooms.  Families are welcome to join us for chapel; however, we do ask that you keep children not attending FOFCA quiet during this time. 

LUNCH

Our students bring their lunch each day.  Information will be sent home regarding special FUN LUNCH days!
