Fairfax Baptist Temple Academy

This is for the school, not the church, although I went to both for several years. Their focus is definitely on the Bible, not academics. I am not sure how students would fare at Bible-​based colleges, such as Bob Jones, or Pensacola (which they heavily push). I will say, that going to a public, non-​religious college, I was fairly far behind in technology, sciences, and social norms/​references, with almost no idea about how the real world works, or real futures/​careers outside of Bible-​based professions. Based on many of my classmates, both from my graduating class, and surrounding years, they have very similar impressions. I think if you are going into a liberal arts major, the school helps a bit more there. I have found that I was above many people in English skills. Unfortunately, in this day and age, they aren’t ‘hot’ skills in demand. I also wouldn’t recommend this school for girls. I am not a feminist by any means, but they don’t exactly encourage women to be educated and self-​sufficient. It’s more, be a submissive preacher’s wife, at home taking care of his kids. I have seen way too many examples of this (at this church) end in cheating husbands, and the wives are left with lots of kids, but no career, or way to take care of them. No school is perfect. This school didn’t really have drugs, fights, anything bad. If you want your child to grow up protected, in a religious bubble, its great. If your focus is education/​their future and you plan on integrating them into the real world, you may want to look elsewhere. For reference, I graduated 10 years ago.

This school has been such a blessing to our family. The administration, teachers, and students are so caring. The school is top notch and is the best investment we have ever made.

This review is for the church not the academy. I found this church online and was led here one Sunday. I knew from my first visit this church was different. I had never felt so welcomed in a church and like I was being welcomed into a family. They have so many activities going on and I really enjoy and learn a lot from the Adult Sunday school classes. Planning on being baptized here next month. I have found my church home and family! Growing so much in my faith and I highly recommend this church!

I know this church very well and I know they wouldn’t say something like that, but you get a few people from time to time that don’t have a lot of wisdom in the words they use. That’s how people leave church etc. because of one person simply using dumb words. Fairfax Baptist Temple’s has a good reputation. 5 stars!

When I was 16 they told me that I was going to hell for missing Sunday school for the Earth Day Concert. Hello, I had front row seats for Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe. What do you REALLY think Jesus would do with those tickets. That’s right. He’d be rockin in the free world.
