"Preparing Spiritual Warriors, Serving Others, and
Glorifying God"

Hello Lincoln Christian Academy Families!  

I have been in education for the past 15 years. I have had the honor to have experienced administration at all three academic levels. I served at Fred T. Foard High School as an assistant principal, Maiden Elementary School as an assistant principal, Southwest Middle School as an assistant principal, Holbrook Middle School as the principal, and Cherryville Elementary School as the principal. 

Ana Carnes is a fifth year teacher with a passion for creativity and the arts. She believes that every child is full of potential and that God has big plans for each of them. In her free time, Ana enjoys pursuing her love of musical theatre and has too many hobbies to count. Ana is so excited about the school year to come and cannot wait to be a part of what God is doing at LCA!

My name is Chelsea Campbell, and I had the privilege of serving as an LCA substitute during the 2024–2025 school year. I am excited to continue my journey this year as a first-grade teacher. I have been married for ten years and am a proud mother of four children. I’m currently completing my degree in Early Childhood Education at Western Carolina University.

I’m familiar with the Abeka curriculum and look forward to implementing it in a new setting this year. My prayer for the school year is that both students and staff will grow deeper in their love for Jesus and that we will boldly share His love with our community.

Ms. Cassandra Farmer is a veteran teacher. Teaching for nearly 20 years across the areas of Cleveland County, Gaston County, and Charlotte Mecklenburg has been a true mission and calling from God. Ms. Farmer did her undergraduate work at Winston Salem State University and earned her Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from University of Phoenix.  Because of her love for community work in surrounding churches and schools she became a Certified Professional Life Coach as well.  “I’m grateful to be an LCA Warrior! God has something extra special in store for us here and I’m honored to be a part of His plan.”

Hello, I am Rebecca Landers, the middle school hybrid class facilitator. I have a Bachelors in Ministry Leadership from Lee University and have worked in children’s ministry for over 12 years. My previously role was at Covenant Preschool so I am excited to be crossing the hall to join LCA. My husband Ezekiel and I recently welcomed our sweet baby Stephen into our family, and he’s our whole world. I can’t wait meet the students; see them excel academically; and grow in the purposes and plans God has for their lives. 

Hi, friends! I am thrilled to be a kindergarten teacher at Lincoln Christian Academy this year! I graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a degree in Early Childhood Education and have served as a teacher in many capacities for years. I am excited to work with you as we grow mentally and spiritually this year. Welcome, Warriors!

My name is Destiny Brittian, and I am looking forward to year two at Lincoln Christian Academy! I am excited to meet all our new students and their families this school year. I am currently working on my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education. I am excited to watch all students grow spiritually for Christ and go above and beyond in their academics this school year! Go, Warriors!

I’m Cheryl Black, originally from Ohio. I moved to NC my senior year and graduated from Temple Christian School in Gastonia. I was 7 when I first believed Jesus Christ wanted a relationship with me. I am the blessed mother of 1 adult daughter. This is my 24th year in education. Starting as a teacher assistant for 5 years in Gaston County and then pursued and graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Belmont Abbey College. For the past 18 years I’ve taught 1st-5th grade in Lincoln County Schools. I’m very excited to  join LCA; teaching and challenging students academically, and a lifelong dream to teach and watch students grow spiritually! My goal is serving Jesus Christ through teaching; showing His love and following His Word. My prayer is for each student to grasp the enormity of God’s faithful love and it drives them in their lifelong relationship with Christ. I want to encourage & engage their curiosity across subjects in a caring, structured environment where students can thrive.

This is my third year at LCA and second year as a 1st grade teacher.  Prior to teaching 1st, I taught Kindergarten.  As a first grade teacher in a Christ-centered environment, I have the joy of nurturing young minds while planting seeds of faith. Each day is an opportunity to guide students academically, socially, and spiritually—helping them discover the wonder of learning and the love of Jesus. Through hands-on activities, biblical integration, and a classroom culture rooted in kindness and grace, I strive to create a space where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to grow in both wisdom and character.

Hello! I’m Mrs. Miller and I’m thrilled to be your child’s Art and PE teacher this year. This is going to be my 6th year teaching. I have a bachelor's in Graphic Design from Emmanuel College and a Art Teaching Certificate from UNCC. I’m passionate about creating a fun and welcoming classroom where students feel excited to learn. When I’m not in the classroom, you can probably find me hanging out with my family, camping and coaching track and field.
