GEORGIA GOAL
Time is running out! The Department of Revenue has approved 73% of the available tax credit dollars. Redirecting you tax dollars to Fellowship Christian School provides scholarship monies for those qualified students whose families could not otherwise send them to FCS. Georgia Goal Scholarship Program allows you to tell the Georgia legislature to redirect up to $2,500 of your tax dollars. What a great way to say, "I Am Second." Read about how...
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
There may be an occasion when we have to close school or have a delayed start due to inclement weather. Please be advised the administration will make decisions regarding school closings and will not follow any county closings. We will post our decision on the website and on the local TV stations; WSB-TV, 11-Alive, CBS Atlanta and FOX 5. If possible, we will send out a RenWeb email so it is imperative to keep us updated on any changes for your email and telephone numbers.

Your experience should be more consistent.
