As Freedom Christian Academy enters is second year, a new kindergarten class has been added to accommodate the need for additional seats for some of our youngest students. Mrs. Laurissa Stephens will serve as the kindergarten assistant in the new class. She is a familiar face at our school and we are ecstatic to have her join our staff!
Mrs. Stephens recently shared insight into her life:
It is an honor to become part of the FCA family. My husband, Craig, and I were born and raised in Somerset County, PA. After I graduated college in 2003 with an Associate's degree in Applied Science, we married and moved to North Carolina with a few items and a huge leap of faith. We have been blessed, endured and prevailed much in our time becoming one. In March 2020, we were given the most incredible gift - our daughter, Makenzie. Our hearts are now truly beating with a purpose!💜
Academics has filled my head with knowledge, but the Lord has taught me that He is all I need to know and trust in order to thrive in this life on earth...and that indeed His way is better, and His timing is perfect. I have had a very rewarding career as a massage therapist and have gotten my feet wet in the insurance world. We have three pups that are all but humanized. I love to help others, read, write, sing and scrapbook. What I love most is spending time with my family. What I can't wait for is for the Lord to show me how He plans to use me in this next chapter!🙌🏼
I have experienced many storms, but I don't settle for just letting them pass...I ask Him show me how to dance in the rain. I cling to many verses but Psalm 91:4, "He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge" is a constant as I beg Him to guide me in navigating the storms and allow them to draw me closer to Him.💃🏽 I absolutely cannot wait to work with the FCA staff, meet your children and be a part of the journey in growing us all closer to the Lord!🦅
Welcome to our team, Mrs. Stephens!
