In one way or another, our Head of School, Noah Brink, has been immersed in Christian education his entire life. He grew up at a Christian school in Memphis, TN, where his father served as a Bible teacher. He went on to attend Wheaton College for his undergraduate studies and has spent the past twenty-three years serving in a wide range of roles within Christian schools. It’s no surprise Noah often says there’s no place he’d rather be than in a Christian school.

​

Noah’s teaching career began at Whitefield Academy in the Atlanta area, where he served as Bible Department Chair and Head Track and Field Coach. He also taught history and art, coached varsity football, and played a key role in launching Whitefield’s ongoing summer missions’ partnership in Quito, Ecuador.

​

In 2005, Noah returned to his alma mater, Evangelical Christian School (ECS) in Memphis. There, he taught Bible, history, and literature; coached varsity football and track; and became ECS’s first Worldview Director, overseeing faculty formation and founding the Servant Leadership Institute for students.

During these years, he married Katie, and together they celebrated the births of their three children—affectionately known as the “Brinklings.”

In 2015, the Brink family moved to St. Louis, where Noah took on senior administrative roles, including Assistant Head of School for Academics at Westminster Christian Academy, and interim Head of School at both Central Christian School and Heritage Classical Christian Academy.

In 2023, Noah founded Renew Education, a nonprofit organization devoted to advancing Christ’s Kingdom by helping schools align more deeply with the gospel. That same year, he published his first book, Jesus Above School, launched the “RenewCast” podcast on Christian education, and began coaching and speaking through the Herzog Foundation.

​

Noah is an avid sports fan who also loves the outdoors and books, especially anything by C.S. Lewis or his favorite author, G.K. Chesterton. He holds graduate degrees from Reformed Theological Seminary and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Covenant College.

​

Noah joined the FCA community in 2025 with a deep love for Christian schooling and all it encompasses—vibrant academics, rich faculty culture, student life, athletics, the arts, and meaningful community engagement. But above all, he has found a home at FCA because of our core commitment to lifelong discipleship—a mission that aligns with his greatest desire: to see students’ hearts, minds, and bodies transformed by the living and active Jesus.
