About Us
Our History
First Baptist Church opened a nursery school and kindergarten in 1969 establishing a base for the subsequent grades. It founded its Christian day school in 1979 by establishing a first grade which later
grew until it had established classes through the 8th grade. Today, the Academy ministers to over 400 students – three year old through the 12th grade.
Our Mission
The mission of First Baptist Academy is to educate students for time and eternity by presenting God’s truths in all areas of education and character development. First Baptist Academy professes that the Bible is the standard for ALL truth, and its source is in Jesus Christ. (John 14:6). Every subject, whether
scientific, historical, mathematical, literary, or artistic is taught with the consciousness that Jesus Christ
is to be central in all living and learning.
Our Purpose
The Academy, three year old through 8th grade, is an out-reach ministry to families in the greater
Randolph area and surrounding communities regardless of church/spiritual background. The purpose of
its high school, however, is to disciple young believers as they grow to Christian maturity therefore all
high school students must have a testimony of a specific time they accepted Christ as their personal
savior.
The Academy seeks to supplement, not supplant the parental role and its responsibility. Students are
encouraged to appreciate both their Christian and American heritage of freedom and human dignity, a
gift from God.
Self-discipline is fostered in students based on respect and reverence to God and all authority. The
Academy seeks to teach and guide students into a relationship with Jesus Christ and submission to His
authority in their lives.
The Academy has been a member of the Association of Christian School International since 1981. It is
accredited by ACSI and approved by TEPSAC (Texas Private School Accreditation Commission). FBA is
also a member of the Texas Parochial and Private Schools (TAPPS) in which students participate in
academic, fine arts and sport competitions. The Academy holds a charter with the National Junior Honor
Society and National Honor Society.
