WEST LAWN UMC PARTNERS WITH FAITHFUL FRIENDS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY TO PROVIDE SUPERIOR CHRISTIAN EDUCATION TO ITS PRESCHOOL COMMUNITY

Beginning in September 2018, West Lawn United Methodist Church will be to new location for the Faithful Friends Christian Academy (FFCA). Together, both West Lawn UMC and FFCA aim to provide superior Christian education to its preschool community.

This Academy, which opened in March 2013, used to be located in Advent Lutheran Church, West Lawn.

Faithful Friends Christian Academy provides children, ages three through five with a nurturing, educational and enjoyable environment.  FFCA is dedicated to implement proficient learning activities and utilize developmentally appropriate curriculum.

To achieve its mission, FCCA believes:

• Children learn through the 5 senses and require hands-on learning and opportunities to discover actual materials and substances.
• Children learn best using a unified developmentally appropriate curriculum and utilizing child-centered, teacher-directed practices.
• Children learn at different levels and speeds and need an expansive assortment of informative and enjoyable opportunities.
• Parents are a child’s primary and on-going teachers, partaking equally in a child’s instruction.

West Lawn UMC is excited to welcome the preschool families onto its campus! Classroom spaces otherwise reserved primarily for Sunday School classes and community groups, such as Girl Scouts troops, will now be shared with FFCA. “We look forward to a great partnership between West Lawn and FFCA. Many of our members already send their preschool children to this Academy, and we love that we will have the opportunity to minister to these little ones on occasion through special Bible storytelling sessions,” added Kelly Rismiller, West Lawn’s Director of Children’s and Family Ministries.
