“For everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” Romans 10:13
During the weekly Elementary Chapel, we are spending each month focusing on a different Scripture. This month, we have been talking about Romans 10:13 and what it means to be saved. Because of God’s great love for each one of us, He sent His Son Jesus to be our Savior…forgiving our sins and giving us the hope of Heaven! What an amazing gift we have been given!
P.S. The picture is from chapel this week. We did a little paper tearing and created the cross. 🙂

It is time again for our annual School Work Days. On Friday, August 5, from 4:00-8:00pm, and Saturday, August 6, from 8:00am-12:00noon, volunteers are needed to help get both the Elementary and Middle School/High School campuses ready for the start of the new school year. From cleaning to landscaping, there are jobs for everyone. Please note, if you are planning to help at the Middle School/High School campus, we ask that you park at the Elementary and walk the path to the MS/HS. Paving is scheduled to begin this next week! Yay!
Additional opportunity–Also on Friday, August 5, from 8:00am-4:00pm, we will begin the installation of the new Elementary playground, specifically the natural play area and pea gravel pit. If you would like to also help with this project, please contact Mrs. Worrell via email at cworrell@fcsfalcons.com or call the school office at 815.652,4806.
Make plans now to attend one of the work days…great things are accomplished when we work together! 🙂
Monday, May 23, 4:00-9:00pm
Join us at the Dixon Culver’s for an evening of yummy food and fundraising for FCS. A portion of the sales from the evening will go to benefit the FCS Outdoor Improvement Fund (which includes the Elementary Playground and the paving of the parking lot and drive at the Middle School/High School.). A higher portion of sales will be donated for every online order placed between the hours of 5:00-8:00pm. We are thankful for our local Culver’s and their willingness to help support the school. Now, who wants a Butterburger and some frozen custard?
Faith Christian School (Preschool-12th Grade) is currently accepting applications for student enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year.
Building a Legacy
For more than four decades, FCS has been faithfully serving the Sauk Valley area. We have seen our graduates attend prestigious colleges and universities across the country–The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, Cornell University, Liberty University, Olivet Nazarene University, Virginia Tech University and Indiana Wesleyan University…to name a few. In and out of the classroom, our goal is to make a positive impact for Christ in the lives of our students.
Looking Through a Christ-centered Lens
At Faith Christian School, all subjects are taught with a Biblical worldview…Jesus Christ is the focus lens through which students will learn and grow in knowledge and understanding. Not only in Bible but in Reading, Social Studies, Science and Math–Biblical truths are taught and discussed.
For more information on admissions and enrollment, please contact the school office by calling 815.652.4806 or emailing at office@fcsfalcons.com.
