Temple Christian Academy Fine Arts programs offer to help K5-12th grade students develop their talents and sharpen their skills for the Lord. Our goal has been to glorify Christ by providing an opportunity for students to participate in events under music, speech, art, and core subjects. Students also perform for the Christmas, and spring programs. Each area has been carefully planned to help prepare students’ minds and abilities for a life of service to Christ. Students have the privilege to compete in the Texas Organization of Christian Schools Fine Arts district and regional competitions throughout the North Texas area which provides students a time of fellowship with other students in a Christ-honoring environment.

Kristi began the Art program at TCA in 2009 and has taught for many years since then. She inspires students to use their God-given artistic talent to the best of their ability and to create artwork that glorifies the Lord. Students learn to utilize the Elements of Art and Principles of Design in creating their masterpieces. Students compete in the Fine Arts competition and have consistently earned many awards.

Carin Gibbs will be working with all grades in the music department at TCA. This year your student will have an opportunity to develop their musical talents by participating in school programs, music theory classes for each age, fine arts, and drama presentations you will not want to miss!

Amy has coached the TCA Elementary Bible Quizzing team for the last 3 years and is excited to be coaching the secondary Bible Quizzing team this year.
