The entire TFA Family congratulates and honors the 2021 Varsity Baseball Team for their hard work on and off of the eld!
THANK YOU TO OUR GOSPEL PATRONS
The First Academy has been blessed by our committed donors, Gospel Patrons, since the founding of our school in 1986. All of the beautiful facilities that our students enjoy today are here because of those who have stepped forward in faith to work to advance the mission and vision of our school. These generous givers embraced the teachings of Matthew 6:19-21, which says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and dust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.”

We are so grateful for those committed donors who stepped forward to create the baseball facilities that we are enjoying tonight. Our coaches will develop Champions for Christ on this eld, within these locker rooms, and inside the batting cages. These committed Gospel Patrons have done so much more than build with brick and mortar, but they have given to create a space where coaches and athletes can grow in Christ.
