Alumni Weekend
We are excited to officially announce our first Fountainview Academy Alumni Event taking place May 22-26! All alumni – both graduates and former students of Fountainview Academy – are invited to attend!
The weekend will give many opportunities to reminisce on good times in the past and make new memories.
Our main speaker for the weekend will be Matt Parra, a longtime friend of Fountainview who has shared at Convention weekends and Weeks of Prayer over the years. If you have never had the opportunity to hear Matt before, we know you will be blessed by his inspiring messages and enjoy his easy-going personality.
The weekend program will include opportunities to reconnect with your high-school classmates and former teachers, walk the campus and return to favorite places, participate in music rehearsals, and hear practical messages for you, no matter your walk in life. We will also be offering some children’s programming throughout the weekend.
For any who would like to participate, we will be preparing a special concert with alumni and current students that we will share on Sunday, May 26th at the Abbotsford Pentecostal Assembly (or APA as we call it). Even if you haven’t sung or picked up an instrument since you stepped off of campus, we would still love to have you join us at music rehearsals and on stage as we share God’s love through music! We are equally happy, though, for you to just visit campus or enjoy the concert as an attendee!
We hope you will join us for this exciting reunion!
