Mr. and Mrs. English were the founders of the school, and I “caught the vision when I came here 30 years ago. As it says in Proverbs - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and.... He will direct your path.” I am incredibly grateful to my husband and all my family for the love and support they have given me through the years in this ministry that I get to do every day. FCA is a wonderful family community, and I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of it.”
