"I love being in a body of believers who find that it is an act of worship to love God through learning."
- Moira Klepac

What post-secondary schools did you attend? Degrees held?

I attended Valparaiso University in Indiana and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities and Political Science.

Have you taught or been involved in schools somewhere else prior to FCS? If so, where, and how long?

My first teaching experience was actually in my senior year of college as a teaching assistant for Christ College, the honors college within Valparaiso University. Last year I taught at Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy, and Faith Christian School will be my second position post-graduation.

What are your hobbies or things you enjoy outside of the school?

 I play a lot of board games with my husband and our friends! We enjoy all sorts of games. I also enjoy drawing, writing poetry, playing volleyball, reading, watching movies, and cooking for my friends and family.

What or who inspired you to work in education?

The list of teachers would be too long to share, but my biggest inspiration would be Miss Marchant (now Mrs. Busby). She was my second-grade teacher, my biggest advocate, and the best example of servant leadership in the classroom that I know.

What's your favorite book you've read?

Of the books I’ve read this year, a favorite has been The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St Clair. It’s a fascinating examination of how colors are scientific, social, historical, political, and so much more.

How many books do you have stacked on your bedside table or in your "To Read" pile?

At least 11 at the moment, but I’m working through them as quickly as I can!

What do you find most compelling or distinct about Christian classical education?

Christian classical education is so distinct from other educational philosophies because of the way it highlights the cause-and-effect relationship between our faith and our learning. God calls us to learn about Him and know about the world He created by the very nature of giving the capacity to learn and know. Only in classical Christian education will students find that the intrinsic goodness of God and of holistic education are affirmed.

What do you love about the idea of teaching at Faith Christian School or what do you anticipate appreciating most about Faith Christian School?

I am excited to teach at a school where the pursuit of knowledge and intellectual humility are hallmarks of the community. God made such a wide and wonderful world with more than I could ever imagine to know, but I love being in a body of believers who find that it is an act of worship to love God through learning.

If you have a "life verse" or a verse that is ministering to you right now, what might it be?

Matthew 13:18-23, but verse 23 in particular is one that God has highlighted for me as of late.

If you have a personal life’s mission statement, what is it?

Serve God, love mankind, and mend. Though only perfect love can drive out hate, imperfect love is all I have to give, yet through Christ it's enough.
