Welcome to FCA
At Fellowship Christian Academy, we believe in the importance of your child having a solid foundation both Biblically and academically as we seek to raise Champions for Christ on our campus. Our team of educators, led by our administration, is committed to working with your family in this endeavor. Welcome to Fellowship Christian Academy!
Letters from Administration
Parents,
I find it is a blessing to work at Fellowship Christian Academy and consider it a privilege to work with a team of like-minded and dedicated teachers and staff. This is the finest group of people I have yet had the privilege of working with.
If you are looking for a school that provides a sound, Christ-centered curriculum where traditional teaching methods are used and Biblical values are taught, then our school may be of interest to you and your family. FCA includes grades Kindergarten through 7th, presently and we will be adding a 8th grade in the coming year. We also have our Little Promises Preschool that is a half-day program that includes 2s, 3s and 4s.
Having been established in 2017, we are a relatively small school and maintain a family-oriented atmosphere where parents are encouraged to be involved in their children’s education. Our team of over 30 teachers and administrators is here to teach students, to pray with students and to encourage them daily.
We place emphasis on working along with parents to build a strong foundation of character while giving a solid academic foundation using Abeka, a well-known and accredited curriculum. Our teachers are experienced and passionate about Christ, prayer and teaching.
I'd love to get to know you and your family and encourage you to reach out to us and take a tour of our school.

Head of School
Mary Key joins us as our Head of Lower School with over 20 years experience in education. Her academic approach is focused on student-centered learning, fostering critical thinking skills, promoting active engagement, and developing a holistic understanding of the subject matter, while tailoring instruction to individual student needs and encouraging collaboration within the classroom; essentially prioritizing the whole child's development and empowering them to become independent, Christ-centered learners.
Mary attended East Carolina University where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Sociology, a Master’s degree in Education, and Reading Certification for grades K-12. Throughout the year, Mary spends time providing youth outreach opportunities in a variety of STEM fields. She and her husband Marty live in Liberty and have three children, Hayden, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a degree in Software Engineering, Lauren, a graduate of North Carolina State University with a degree in Economics, and Caroline who is currently attending East Carolina University pursuing a degree in Education.
Dear Families,
It is my privilege to serve as your Director at Little Promises Preschool. I first fell in love with Little Promises as a teacher and quickly thereafter as a parent. It has truly been an answered prayer to have the opportunity to re-direct that passion into this new role.
Here, we believe in coming alongside you to create an environment that is rich in spirituality and foundational skills. In our Christ-centered classrooms, your children will encounter hands-on learning through instruction, play, and specials (Bible, music, exploration, and story time). We know that our joyful approach will foster in your child a deep love for both our Savior and school that will be long-lasting.
It is my sincerest belief that God has been paving my way here for a long time, and if you are reading this, I hold that same belief for you and your family. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or would like to schedule a tour.
