The Hybrid Model combines the best attributes of traditional schooling with the best attributes of homeschooling and integrates them into one model. The result is quality, cost-effective, college-preparatory education that gives parents more time for imparting their own faith and values to their children. In partnership with one another, parents and the school work together toward a mutual goal: to produce wholesome, competent, and virtuous followers of Christ who will change the world in their generation.

Mrs. Teresa Murnock - Administrator, Business Life Skills, Physical Science, and Dance
My name is Teresa Murnock. I am one of the founders of King's Light Christian Academy. I have an AS in Radiologic Sciences. I have been a Clinical Instructor at Culpeper Hospital for Radiography students and cross-trained into MRI. I have a passion for designing and building as well. I owned and operated Heavenly Scent Cupcakes and Cakes for 7 years.
My time beyond my professional work is spent with my two children, my husband, friends, and family. I enjoy reading, studying, hiking, kayaking, biking, and camping. I love the outdoors and taking in the wonder of our Father's creation.
My passion is for youth and children to know our heavenly Father, Savior, and Holy Spirit. I have served in children's ministry and youth ministry for 13 years and also served on the church leadership team for 2 years. My gifts and talents have been utilized in organizing and running children/youth programs, classes, and activities.
My hope is to see KLCA be a blessing to our local area and connect the family of God, building relationships and fostering support and encouragement to do His good and glorious work. We are here to partner with parents and help guide and educate with excellence the next generation that will be the salt and light in our world.
Mr. Mitchell White - English, P.E, Health, Ethics, and Logic
My name is Mitchell White. I have a B.A. in Psychology (minor in Philosophy) from the Virginia Military Institute, and an M.Div. from Gardner-Webb Seminary. I was ordained for ministry in 2019, having served as a U.S. Army chaplain for eight years and a healthcare chaplain for three years after that. Though I have no formal teaching experience before KLCA, I have a God-given ability to explain things plainly and build understanding from the individual's level. I have used this gift informally to evangelize, explain biblical truths to children and adults, tutor classmates, and coach after-school chess.
I have been married to my nerdy best friend, Tessa, for nine years. We are both native Virginians, and we moved back to Fauquier County to be closer to family. Together we enjoy The Legend of Zelda, fantasy and sci-fi stories, Nintendo games, and Minecraft. While she rides horses and crochets stuffed animals, I like theology, baseball, and non-fiction. I am also an avid runner, and I'm training to complete my first marathon.
Proverbs 16:9 says, "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." I will not hide it; a month ago, I was looking for ministry employment and did not expect to become an English and critical thinking teacher. Praise be to God that He is wiser than I am! He has established my steps in ways I did not anticipate, and blessed me with instant friendships at Jeffersonton Baptist Church and KLCA. I am excited for the challenge, and I know that my students will teach me many things. Above all else, I am passionate to glorify God by instilling in my students biblical wisdom that examines all human literature and philosophy through the lens of Scripture.
Mr. Adam Forster - Dean of Character Development, Bible, Homestead Science
My name is Adam Forster. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in theology. Most of my career has been spent in video production, producing hundreds of community television programs, and working on several independent movie sets. In 2011 the Lord led me to begin producing faith-based shows and that’s when I fell in love with telling the stories of our awesome miracle working God. This led me to go back to school and get my degrees in theology.
I have worked with a lot of interns, many still in high school and enjoy teaching them the skills to work on and off camera and even begin a career in the industry. That said I am excited to be the Dean of Character Development and teach theology. I believe that learning about God is the single most important thing a person can do, it’s a process that should last a lifetime.
I enjoy walking my dogs, running my sawmill, and spending time with good friends and family, but most of all I love talking about God and how good he is.
Ms. Brittany Morton - Math (Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2), Chemistry, Biology
My name is Brittany Morton. I have a BS in Family and Child Development with minors in Special Education and Psychology from Liberty University. I have experience tutoring math. This past year I taught 6th and 7th-grade math and Algebra 1 and 2 at Banner Christian School, Culpeper.
I have been married 16 years to my high school sweetheart, Jon, and we have 4 kids, Zoë, Josiah, and twins, Seth and Steven. We have been in full-time ministry since 2009, but nine years of that, we spent in youth ministry which is why I love working with and teaching teenagers.
While most of my time is used up by my own 4 children, I do enjoy reading a good book, coloring, or marketing my very little Pampered Chef business.
I am excited to be a part of KLCA and help to give godly guidance and equip students for their lives. I am passionate about making sure teens know that not only do I love them, but most importantly, God loves them.

Mr. Jason Murnock
My name is Jason Murnock, and I’m the proud father of two of KLCA’s first students, and the husband of Teresa Murnock, Administrator. I have had the chance to see KLCA grow from an idea of my wife’s given the lack of Christian High Schools in our area, to the functional school it is today, complete with excellent teachers, staff, a location, and a large family that supports it!
I see the vision and principles of KLCA, and those of a Christian education founded on the Lord and His teachings, as of great importance for our youth and our community. My family and I have always striven to incorporate God’s teachings in our everyday lives. Over the years, I have helped coach my kids’ soccer teams, and co-lead youth group with my wife. We currently attend City Light Baptist Church in Culpeper, where I now teach the 5th graders in AWANA.
My background is in environmental science. For work, I run a small environmental consulting firm and assist in the sales of a novel, technology-based stormwater management software product to alleviate flooding and boost water quality in our watersheds. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening and working in the yard, particularly on an aquaponics project.
I attended Catholic schools in Erie, PA from first grade through college, where he received an MS in Environmental Science from Gannon University. I am happy to bring this background, my love for the Lord and His creation, and my management and marketing experience to KLCA as a board member.
Mr. Noah Wharton
My name is Noah Wharton. I’m originally from Culpeper, Virginia, and had the privilege of teaching at King’s Light Christian Academy from 2021 to 2024. During my time at KLCA, I taught a variety of subjects including history, geography, government, math, and music. Those years were formative for me, both professionally and spiritually, and KLCA has always held a special place in my heart.
Currently, I work as a teacher in Fauquier County Public Schools while also working toward my M.A. in History through Liberty University. I’m passionate about education—especially Christian education—and the impact it can have on young lives. Being back at King’s Light, now in the role of board member, is a full-circle moment for me. It’s an incredible blessing to return and contribute in a new way, helping to shape and support the school’s vision from behind the scenes.
I’m especially excited about equipping and encouraging our teachers by providing resources, mentorship, and spiritual support. I know firsthand the dedication it takes to be in the classroom, and I want to come alongside our educators as they pour into the next generation.
Above all, I love the Lord and am deeply grateful for His guidance and provision in every season of my life. I’m honored to be part of what God is doing through King’s Light Christian Academy and look forward to the year ahead—serving the school, supporting our staff, and furthering the mission of Christian education and discipleship.

(Denise and Teresa, the founder, met years ago at church and became quick friends. Their love and passion for encouraging children to Christ created an immediate bond. It is a blessing to have Denise come on board to be a source of encouragement and Godly guidance at KLCA.)
Pastor Jon Morton
My name is Jonathan Morton, but most people know me as “Pastor Jon” or even “P.J.”. I’m blessed to serve as the senior pastor of Jeffersonton Baptist Church, host to our beloved KLCA family. Having preached my very first sermon at just 13 years of age, which proved to be the catalyst by which the Lord called me into full-time ministry, I know firsthand the immense value of discipling teenagers.
I am an honors graduate of Liberty University & Seminary, holding a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies as well as three master’s degrees in discipleship, religious education, and professional ministries. Nearly twenty years ago, I was set apart for pastoral ministry and, in that time, have been privileged to serve as a youth pastor, denominational leader for student ministry, worship leader, small group facilitator, private Christian school ELA teacher, pastor, and associate pastor.
I was born in the majestic Smoky Mountains of Asheville, NC then raised throughout the Southeastern United States. My wife, Brittany, and I were high school sweethearts nearly twenty-five years ago in Virginia Beach and are celebrating 18 years of marriage. We have five children, including Monty, Zoë, Josiah, as well as our twins, Seth and Steven. Ours is a busy family, for sure, but I enjoy family movie nights, physical fitness, reading, playing and singing music, graphic design, and writing.
As a family, we strive to fulfill our mission to love God, love others, teach the Word, and reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To every congregation and gathering of believers where I am honored to serve and speak, we hope to demonstrate and share that life is not about us...because it’s ALL ABOUT JESUS! As a board member, this will continue to be my heartbeat, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to King’s Light Christian Academy as a servant-leader. Having spent time both in the classroom and in the lives of many students as well as their families for many years, I understand the challenges and blessings of Christian education. I am grateful for the chance now to help invest in and support this wonderful ministry of KLCA - soli Deo gloria - for the glory of God alone!
The parent's role in our hybrid model
Parents have the primary responsibility to guide their youth in faith, character development, and obedience. At KLCA we respect this role as the number one influence. KLCA instructors deliver biblically rooted course content to equip the youth to see the sovereignty of God in a broken world.
The parent partners with KLCA staff by keeping informed about their student's progress and by checking the Canvas parent portal. This is the communication hub for KLCA which provides full transparency as to the work their youth is asked to complete.
The goal is to raise well-prepared adults by the senior year. Parents are to help guide their youth on the satellite days as to how to best approach the schoolwork agenda in Canvas and manage their time wisely at home. Parents are not delivering the course content but are encouraged to dialog with their youth about their coursework.
Please support our mission to provide a Christian education for teens!
