Elementary teacher shares how her faith influences her work

Carrie Skinner (right), a fourth-grade teacher at Fruithurst Elementary School, says her faith influences her work every day. “Being a teacher has definitely deepened my walk with the Lord because I see God daily in the eyes and smiles of my students.

Students like Christian Scott (left) encourage her with their fearless testimonies, such as what he wrote on the first-day of school survey. “We have so much to learn from children about how to be open about our relationship with the Lord,” Skinner said.

Skinner is a member of First Baptist Church, White Plains, Anniston, which has applied for membership in Calhoun Baptist Association.
