Our History

Founded in Faith. Built for Purpose.

Leadership Faith Academy was born from a simple yet powerful moment, a conversation in a living room in Frisco, Texas summer of 2019.

What began as a small gathering of friends forming a Girl Scout group quickly revealed a shared conviction: we wanted to redefine education. We envisioned a learning environment that nurtured each child’s gifts, honored individuality, and challenged students to think beyond limits.

As the vision unfolded, the group unanimously agreed that with their experience, heart, and proven leadership, Theron and Ashley Snelson were the couple to lead the charge. After prayer and deep reflection rooted in their own parenting journey, Theron and Ashley courageously said yes to the call, a call that would change their lives and the lives of countless families forever.

One mother was so moved by the vision that she immediately wrote a check which served as seed money for her child’s future tuition…A bold act of faith and belief in what was being built.

For founders Theron and Ashley Snelson, the dream of creating an organization dedicated to uplifting youth had always lived in their hearts. Yet in that moment, they realized God was birthing something far greater than they had imagined. That living-room conversation became the foundation of Leadership Factory Academy, which later evolved into Leadership Faith Academy (LFA); a place where world changers can “Learn Without Boundaries.”
