First Baptist Academy is a ministry of First Baptist Church of SW Broward. This institution is owned and operated by FBC of SW Broward under the leadership of Pastor Tom Odom. First Baptist Academy firmly believes and teaches without apology, all principles and doctrines found in FBC of SW Broward’s Statement of Faith, which embraces the biblical, Baptist belief.
With these beliefs in mind, First Baptist Academy believes that the Bible is the infallible, plenary, inspired Word of God and is the final authority of faith and practice; therefore, First Baptist Academy practices the exclusive use of the King James Bible in classroom instruction, Bible memory, and chapel services. Because we believe in the importance of the Word of God influencing the lives of our
students, the use of the Bible and its principles are incorporated into each subject. the Bible is used as a basis for knowledge and as a guide for further growth and strength.

Thus, because of our beliefs concerning the Bible and its principles, a chapel service is held every week for all grades. All FBA teachers and students are required to participate fully in all services and functions of chapel.
PHILOSOPHY
Colossians 1:18 says, “…that in all things He (Jesus) might have the preeminence.” The purpose of First Baptist Academy is not to offer an alternative to the government school system nor to provide only a private education. Rather, it is to provide an atmosphere to grow and a solid Christian education that is based upon the Bible. FBA is not a corrective institution, but a safe haven for today’s children and youth. This is accomplished by allowing Jesus Christ to have the preeminence in the lives of all those who have a part in this ministry. Our goal is to develop the mind of Christ in our students so that they may serve Jesus Christ from their hearts.
