Holly Bills

I am a graduate of TFHCS, having attended here from Grade 1-12. I then attended Trinity Western University and graduated with a B.A. and a B.Ed. I returned to my home town and have been teaching at TFHCS for 10 wonderful years. I love the opportunities TFHCS gives me to introduce students to the wonder of a relationship with God and to encourage every student to become life long learners. I believe God has called me to serve, inspire and love His precious children as they become world-changers for Jesus.

Olivia Sylvester

Hello! I am the Grade 1 teacher here at TFHCS. I graduated from the University of Alberta in the spring of 2020. This is my second year of teaching at this school. It is my joy and passion to help students achieve their learning goals and to grow in their relationship with God. It is my hope to create a classroom full of curiosity, encouragement, and success. I feel so blessed to be a part of this amazing school! My favourite part of teaching is creating a relationship with each student and watching them grow and learn throughout the year.

Alyson Benson

Having graduated from the University of Alberta in 2019, this will be my third year teaching at The Father’s House Christian School. I am grateful and eager for the opportunity that God has given me to serve in a school where I will get to see, encourage, and walk alongside students as they grow in their academics and relationship with God.  With a love for physical activity and sports I am very excited to be teaching physical education this year in addition to teaching in the Senior Learning Centre.

I love when students have a revelation of something new that they have learnt, whether about God, in their academics, or in their everyday lives!  It is a joy to see the excitement on their faces as they learn and grow personally, academically, and in their relationship with God.

Dawn Ioanidis

I am a mother of 5 children and began working as an EA 8 years ago. Each of my children attended a Christian school. What a blessing to be a part of each students’ spiritual and educational journeys! I serve at a place where God and His word are honoured, and each student “grows up in the presence of the Lord.” 1 Sam 2:21

Hannah Fraser

Hi! My name is Hannah Fraser. I am so excited to be working at The Father’s House Christian School this year! In 2018/2019 I attended The Father’s House Discipleship School and through that really developed a heart for working with children and TFHCS. I grew up in Morinville attending this very school myself, so it’s amazing to have the opportunity to pour into students the same way staff and teachers poured into me growing up.
