Mission Statement
The First Academy is a Christ-centered, college preparatory school whose mission is to prepare children for life as Christian leaders who choose character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, service before self, and participation as a way of life.
God’s Plan of Salvation Admit
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 Pray: Lord, I admit that I am a sinner in need of a Savior.
Believe
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 Pray: Lord, I believe that Jesus died and shed His blood for my sins. I believe this in my heart and not just my head.
Call
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 Pray: Lord, I call upon You to save me from my sins. I confess and repent of my sins. I know that your Son, Jesus, paid my debt on the cross, a debt that I could never pay despite all my good works, and I thankfully accept Your gift of eternal life in Heaven that His death makes possible.
