FINE ARTS ACADEMY
The SFBC FAA seeks to use music, art and dance as a means to promote the arts and artistic expression, creating better musicians, artists and dancers within students while also evangelizing and discipling people for Jesus Christ. Our end goal is for the skill and talent gained to be used in authentic worship of God and to bring glory to Him through the arts.

" Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts."
