Melissa Rush
Secretary
Melissa and her husband Jon are both FCS graduates Class of 2008. They have 3 school age children, Chloe, Landon, and Makayla, all here at Faith. Melissa practices massage therapy part-time, but is also very thankful she has the time and flexibility to be highly involved with her kids’ lives at home and school. They live in Lake Geneva and have been a part of Lakeland Church since 2013. Melissa enjoys crafting, organizing and traveling. She would also tell you that one of her top spiritual gifts is “helps”, which is exactly what she hopes to do for Faith Christian School.
She is humbled by 1 John 4:19, “We love because he first loved us.”
John Guanci
Treasurer
John and his wife Stacy currently reside in Richmond, IL. They fell in love with Faith Christian School within moments of walking in the doors and after months of praying for a Christian school for Hannah and Adam. John has been working as full time Minister at Crystal Lake Christian Church for the past 4+ years after working 20 years in the manufacturing sector. He gives all glory to God for continued blessings and the realized dream to preach the good news of Jesus Christ. His favorite hobbies are landscaping and road trips with Stacy in their 2003 Wrangler.
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” (Psalm 34:1-3)
