History

Liberty Christian Academy was founded in Seymour, Indiana, in 1993, by Joan W. Fisher, known affectionately by her students as "Sister Fisher".  Joan, a 1957 graduate of Rising Sun High in Indiana, knew early on that education was important!  After high school, she enrolled in and graduated from Cincinnati Business College.  She married Ron in 1959, became a military wife, and soon added two daughters to complete their family.

In 1966, Ron took a position at Cummins Engine in Columbus, Indiana.  The family settled in Seymour.  Joan soon became a member of Apostolic Tabernacle Ministries in Seymour and was appointed Sunday School Superintendent, overseeing successful church growth, including a child's bus ministry.

Changing the lives of many young people

In the 1970s, she began a Day Care, worked as a Tutor for the Seymour Community School Corporation, and remained involved in Children's Ministry at the Apostolic Tabernacle.

Protecting the hearts and minds of young people

In 1981, her mentor and pastor of Apostolic Tabernacle, founded and pioneered as President of Indiana Bible College in Seymour.  Joan quickly enrolled alongside her daughters.  "Her Two Girls", as she affectionately called them, were the prime college age and Joan was IN her prime.

Knowing her experience and zeal to help young people, the Indiana Bible College president appointed Joan to oversee the newly added Christian School located within the Bible College.  Joan graduated valedictorian of her 1985 college graduating class and took on another pioneering role.

Changes in Life

In the 1990s, a change in school officers forced Joan out of that role and into her own pioneering Administrative role.  She founded Liberty Christian Academy in 1993 and at 54 years young, "Sister Fisher" NEVER looked back!

I believe one of her proudest moments came when her own Liberty Christian pioneer class student, Jesse, was accepted into the U. S. Air Force.  She even stayed on this earth long enough to see him retire with honor.
