Physical Education
Name:
Mr. Michael Turbay
Why do you love working at CFA:
Every day at CFA is a blessing. I truly enjoy being surrounded by such incredible staff and students, and I am filled with joy and gratitude each day. Learning about the greatness of the Gospel alongside the children continually strengthens my relationship with the Lord. Our administration team is incredibly encouraging, offering support and appreciation in everything we do. This is a truly special environment that inspires me to grow, serve with excellence, and become the best version of myself.
Experience:
In education since 2025, at CFA since 2025. Associate of Arts degree. Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. I have served as a substitute teacher at Christ Fellowship Academy, where I had the opportunity to support students across various classrooms. It was a rewarding experience, and I was grateful for the trust placed in me to create a positive, engaging, and well-managed learning environment. In addition to my classroom experience, I serve as a Bible Group Teacher with CFKids at Christ Fellowship Church, where I teach and encourage elementary-aged students as they grow in their faith and understanding of God’s Word. I have also volunteered as a youth sports coach, working with elementary-aged children in a variety of sports at a local park. Through coaching, I have enjoyed helping children develop teamwork, confidence, sportsmanship, and a love for being active.
Life Bible Verse:
“And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”
Matthew 18:3-5 NIV
Brief educational/department philosophy:
As a positive male role model, I feel called by the Lord to encourage, support, and positively influence the children. Physical education provides students with opportunities to build teamwork, communication, perseverance, and self-confidence while developing healthy habits and strengthening their physical abilities. My goal is to create a fun, encouraging, and Christ-centered environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired to do their best.
