Eagle Week

A Special All School Tradition

Every spring, FBCA students from Pre-K - 12th grade participate in Eagle Week, a unique opportunity to serve locally, nationally or internationally to help meet the physical and spiritual needs of our neighbors.

Eagle Week takes place the week before Spring Break and provides meaningful opportunities to experience what it means to live out Christ’s example.

Upper School students will sign up for one of the trips OR a local service ministry. Emails will be sent by grade level on when and how to sign up. Local service trips will be announced at a later date.
