Editor's Note: This story has been updated. The ribbon cutting, originally scheduled for Aug. 5, has been moved to Aug. 12.

First Baptist Christian Academy will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12, for its newly renovated facility at 6052 Palm Coast Parkway NW.

The renovated building will serve FBCA's pre-school, elementary and middle school students.

FBCA serves nearly 600 students and their families from infants through high school and is a ministry of First Baptist Church of Palm Coast at the adjacent property at 6050 Palm Coast Parkway. The high school students have moved into a new wing at the church, said FBCA's new Head of School Dr. Max Fernandez.

FBCA had occupied the historic Flagler County courthouse in Bunnell from 2015 through the 2023-24 school year. The newly renovated facility had previously served as the church's preschool.

The church and school will now be all together on one property occupying the corner of Palm Coast and Pine Lakes parkways, Fernandez said.

Fernandez has been on the job for less than two months. He has served in Christian Ministry for 21 years and Christian education for 17 years. He has a PhD in biblical studies. Fernandez and his family moved to Palm Coast from Middletown, Ohio.
