Rev. Ray Llarena with his wife, Mrs. Nita Llarena
It was because of the faithfulness to the call of God that Pastor Ray, together with his family moved to Manila from the United States to start a church in 1984. In 1985, an orphanage was opened led by the burden of Mrs. Llarena, responding to the challenge of putting up a ministry for street children. The vision of opening Tabernacle of Faith Christian Academy was birthed in the same year. There was a desire in the heart of Mrs. Nita Llarena and Pastor Ray Llarena to educate the children in the orphanage. Gradually, the vision developed into a Christian learning institution.

One year later in 1986, with great courage and faith, Tabernacle of Faith Christian Academy was established with its operations in the Broadway Centrum building, Quezon city.
In the same year, Mrs. Llarena went to be with the Lord. Determined to carry out God’s will, Rev. Ray Llarena took over with the work following the vision of his dearly beloved wife. There were a handful of students and teachers in the beginning, but as the people whom God called remained faithful, the Lord prospered the school.

It was in 1993, when God blessed the school with a building, that Tabernacle of Faith Christian Academy was housed in a five-storey building in at 151 J. Ruiz St., San Juan, Metro Manila (San Juan City). Classes from pre-school to high school were conducted in the new location and has continued to do so since then.
The school is an institution based on the principles of the Bible, aimed at training and producing individuals who will have the potential to contribute to the welfare of society intellectually, emotionally, and most of all spiritually.
TFCA accomplished these, through the expertise of highly competent and godly teachers coupled with responsible administrators, with the intent of training its students competitively through a very comfortable and conducive learning environment.
The institution is a non-stock, non-profit, private interdenominational school striving to provide high academic standards of education using a DepEd approved curriculum.
