Science Department

Meri Cain
Meri Cain
Department Chair

Undergraduate Degree: B.A. Biology, English Literature, Agnes Scott College
Education Experience: Sixteen years at FCS, Nineteen years total
Church Home: Fellowship Bible Church
Favorite Bible Verse: Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
What I enjoy most: The challenge of teaching the sciences is that one must encourage students who are confronted with the need to apply knowledge and utilize practiced skills to solve novel problems. The growth of students from anxious, uncertain chemists to confident, capable problem solvers is very rewarding. At FCS, teaching the content is immersed in a matrix that is rich in relationship. I so enjoy getting to know my students and having the privilege of observing their growth in life and, most significantly, in their faith. Many of them become lifelong friends upon graduation. It is wonderful to witness the tremendous men and women they become.

Joshua 1:8-9
What I enjoy most: My goal as a teacher is for my students to leave my class with a solid foundation of knowledge regarding the area of study we are engaged in exploring. I also desire to impact my students in their walk with the Lord. “Students learn what they care about, from people they care about, and who they know care about them” – Carson.

Undergraduate Degree: B.A. Psychology, Auburn University
Education Experience: One year at FCS, twelve years total
Church Home: Cherokee Presbyterian Church
Favorite Bible Verse: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 8:35-39
What I enjoy most: I enjoy building a relational ministry with the students that I teach, using a passion for fine arts as a vehicle for interaction. All of the world around us is inspired and given life by God. I attempt to show students, not only how that impacts how we approach Art, but how we live our lives as part of God's creative handiwork.
