Train a child

Amanda Strange (Kindergarten)
I have been blessed to call ECA my second home for 10 years. I began teaching "Kinder-darlings" in 2000 and have watched ECA grow in God's word each year since. Originally from Larue County, I moved to Hardin County 18 years ago. I am married and my husband and I raise a 15 year old daughter. We both share a passion for "farm life." I prefer outdoors to indoors and love gardening, landscaping, camping, jogging, and hiking trails.

Teaching is as natural to me as breathing. I feel I was called to teach and lead children to Christ by God. I have enjoyed a life of Christianity since I was 11 years old.

Tracey Easton (Kindergarten)
Welcome to Elizabethtown Christian Academy! My name is Tracey Easton and I have the privilege of being your child's teacher for the 2009-2010 school year. Your child can refer to me as Ms. Tracey. To get acquainted, here is a little information about me. My degree is in education from University of Kentucky. I have been working with children for 25+ years in the school setting, rehabilitation, a childrens' hospital and daycare. My husband (of many years) and I have a 12 year old son. As a family we enjoy traveling by RV, golf and fishing. My personal favorites are teaching, horseback riding and gardening. As the year progresses I look forward to getting to know each of you. My 'door' will always be open to you and I encourage you to contact me with any question or concern.

Monica Kisselbaugh (1st Grade)
I am married to Scott and have two beautiful children Madison and Jack. I've taught different grades off and on for 14 years, and am beginning my 7th year at ECA. I became a Christian in 1983 after a teacher shared the gospel with me. I am excited to continue sharing Christ with children.

Sandy Stinnett (2nd Grade)
I have been a Hardin County native my entire life. I presently live with my husband of 22 years and two daughters ages 20 and 15. We have horses and enjoy riding motorcycles. I have been teaching for 18 years: nine years at ECA as a kindergarten and second grade teacher and nine years with Severns Valley Church as a preschool teacher. I received my degree in Elementary Education from Campbellsville University.

Kim Kerr (3rd Grade)
I became a Christian in 1992 and since then I have been striving to serve God and bring Him glory in all I do. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful husband and four terrific kids. I am also blessed to teach at ECA. This will be my seventh year here at ECA and I am looking forward to what God is going to continue to do here.

Teddi Embrey (4th Grade)
Miss Teddi Embrey is the fourth grade teacher at ECA. She is an Army brat who has lived all over the world. She claims Rineyville, KY as her home after retiring from the U.S. Air Force in 2004. After graduating from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2007, she began teaching fourth grade at ECA. She loves the Lord Jesus dearly and wants to instill His word and love in children.

Jennifer Leon (5th Grade)
It was in my fourth grade year of school that I made my profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I had the blessing of being reaised in a Christian home that encouraged service to God. The closer I came to adulthood, I realized I was being called by the Lord into His service for my life's career.

After a short term as a missionary in Kazakhstan, former Soviet Union, I returned to the United States to study and prepare myself for His service. My husband, Frank, and I each received Master's Degrees in Education in Fort Worth, Texas, Frank's in Gerontology, and mine in Childhood. My husband is currently the Director of Religious Education for the Chaplaincy Corps at Fort Knox.

I have been teaching in Christian education for 13 years. This is my 6th year at ECA.

Gwen Frayser (Middle School)
I received Christ at the early age of 9, at New Hope Baptist Church in Clarksville, Tennessee. I am married to Michael K. Frayser of Cave-in-Rock, Illinois. We have three beautiful children together…Dominique 15, Christian Michael 12, and Alloria 8. We have lived here in Elizabethtown for almost 15 years.

I graduated from WKU in 2006, with a teaching degree in Middle Grades Education. I am certified to teach History and English. I am currently enrolled online at AIU, pursuing my masters degree in Curriculum and Design.

Love and education grow a child but, with Christ and the supportive love of a teacher even more can be achieved.
