My name is Thomas Burnett. I was born in Spartanburg, SC in 1980. Soon after my family moved to Jackson County, GA, where I would grow-up. I attended and graduated from Commerce High school in 1999. I played football and threw shot put and discus for the track team.
In the summer of 1998, my life was changed when I decided to follow Christ and become a Christian. After graduating from high school, I felt a strong calling to full-time ministry.
In 2007, I married my wife Samantha Burnett in Fort Payne, AL. Were we both served in camping ministry. We have three children. Who are Ela, Harley, and Bryce.
In 2020 I resigned from full-time pastoral ministry, and answered the calling to serve with Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I am the Area Director for Habersham, Rabun and Stephens County. My family and I currently live in Habersham, GA were we have lived and served for the last 11 years.
My name is April Akridge. I am a coach's wife of eighteen years, former school teacher, and a mother to four very active boys. Over the past several years my husband, Chris, and I, along with our boys, have participated in Fellowship of Christian Athletes camps and huddles as a coaching family. Since being involved with FCA, we have seen firsthand the impact FCA can have on the coach, family, and athlete.
After years of thinking and praying about joining the FCA team, in the fall of 2021, I become an Area Representative for Habersham FCA. As an area rep, I serve and minister to all of our female coaches, athletes, and coaches' wives in Habersham county.
I love the Lord and sharing His love with others. I also love Habersham athletics! Being in this role as an Area Rep with Habersham FCA combines these two loves into my dream job.
