Adair County High School FCA

Alex Beam was the first speaker to kick off ACHS FCA this year. 💥

If a high school student is interested in becoming an FCA leader, please see Mr. Brandon Hovious about signing up.

Same time, same place next week!

Let’s continue to be like Jesus 🙌🏻

FCA will meet this Thursday, Sept 4, in Mrs. Cravens’ room at 7:15am.
We are excited to start it back for the ‘25-‘26 school year! 😊 🙌🏻

FCA will be going to Air Raid Trampoline Park in London Kentucky one week from today, May 7. We will be there from 5-7 CST. The invite is open to any and every middle schooler, high schooler, and college student. They will be responsible for filling out their waiver and/or having their parent or guardian fill it out. They will also be responsible for transporting themselves to and from Air Raid. Other than that, FCA will cover the entry cost for them to participate in a night of fun and fellowship at the trampoline park.

At our final FCA meeting of the year, students made encouraging cards to give out to others—reminding them they’re not alone and inviting them to join FCA next year!

We were also blessed to hear from Alex Beam, who shared a powerful message about what it means to be made in God’s image.

Key takeaways:
• We are created in God’s image—set apart from angels, animals, and plants (Genesis 2).
• God is slow to anger and abounding in love (Joel 2:13), and we are called to reflect that image.
• How do we do that? By showing the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23):
Joy in trials
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control

Let’s carry this message with us as we finish the school year strong and look forward to a new year of FCA!

This morning, we were blessed to hear from David Kemp, who shared an incredible message based on Matthew 28. After Jesus had died and risen, the disciples worshipped Him—but some still doubted. That’s such a powerful reminder: even in the presence of the risen Savior, some had questions. And that’s okay.

Sometimes it feels like God comes through for us—and sometimes it feels like He doesn’t. In those moments, doubt can creep in. But we still have hope, and that’s what we cling to.

David challenged us to think about this: What if you had to go through all the hard things in life without Jesus? The truth is, BAD things happen—but with Jesus, we don’t face them alone. That’s the difference.

He also played “I Am Not Okay” by Jelly Roll—a raw and real song that reminds us of the pain many people carry. As believers, we know that even when things aren’t okay right now, it’s going to be all right. But so many students around us don’t know that.

As we head into Easter weekend, Mr. Kemp told us to look at the people around us differently. They’re watching how we respond—to mistakes, struggles, and disappointments. If they see hope in us, they might want what we have. And what we have is Jesus.

The gift has already been paid in full—proven by the resurrection. Jesus loves everyone—even those who seem the furthest from Him. Mr. Kemp reminded us to share that love.

We’re excited to have David Kemp speaking to our FCA youth! All high school students are warmly invited to join us—come be encouraged and inspired!

David Kemp will be speaking to our FCA youth. Any high school student is welcome to attend!

This week’s FCA meeting was led by LWC sophomore Connor Wilhoit, who shared an incredible message from Matthew 13:1-9 about the four kinds of soil—representing the condition of our hearts in receiving God’s Word.

1️⃣ The Path – Seeds (God’s Word) are scattered but don’t take root. Doubt and questions can arise here, but asking questions is a sign of seeking truth, and through that, faith is strengthened.

2️⃣ Rocky Soil – Like a flower trying to grow through concrete, this is a dangerous place to be. There’s excitement and praise, but no deep roots or support system to sustain growth.

3️⃣ Thorny Soil – This is where distractions and habits make it hard to fully commit. The thorns represent struggles and worldly challenges that can choke out our faith.

4️⃣ Fertile Soil – A strong foundation, prepared for any storm. Growth isn’t always easy, but when we are rooted in Christ, we thrive. “He is the vine; we are the branches.”

Connor reminded us:
📖 Read your Bible and pray daily—not out of obligation, but with a willing heart.
💛 When we change our perspective (what our foundation is), we can grow.

If you stay rooted in God’s word, you will see blessings. “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” – Isaiah 43:19

What a powerful message! Let’s work on cultivating hearts of fertile soil.

Join us at FCA tomorrow morning to hear an encouraging message from Connor Wilhoit! We’ll have donuts and free FCA t-shirts for the “early birds.” Just as Paul encourages us to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1), let’s start the day with prayer, fellowship, and inspiration!

Today, our youth led small groups with the theme: LOVE.

“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.” – 1 John 4:7 (NLT)

God is the very definition of love, and without Him, we wouldn’t truly understand what love is. His love is perfect—unconditional, unshakable, and freely given. Unlike human love, which can come with expectations, God’s love has no requirements other than our willingness to receive it.

When we allow the truth of God’s love to fill our hearts, it transforms the way we love others. The more we reflect on His love for us—even when we didn’t deserve it—the easier it becomes to extend that same love to those around us.

I’m incredibly proud of our youth for stepping up today, boldly sharing their testimonies, and leading discussions on God’s love. May they continue to grow in their faith, share His Word, and be a light to others!
