God has richly blessed the ministry of West Seneca Christian School with an administrative team with nearly 100 years of combined ministry experience. Our superintendent, administrator, and academic dean work together to partner with our parents to see God’s best in the lives of each student God directs to our ministry.
Dr. Dana Cline, the senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of West Seneca, serves as the superintendent of West Seneca Christian School. Dr. Cline holds a B.A. degree in Bible. He also holds M.A. and D.P.T. degrees in pastoral theology. His long tenure in the pulpit ministry, his service in the Christian school classroom, and his burden for young people have equipped him well to serve as the superintendent of our Christian school.
Mr. Bryan Fry has a B.S. in Bible and Secondary English Education from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College in Owatonna, Minnesota. He also earned his M.Ed. in Educational Administration from Baptist Bible College (Clarks Summit University) in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania.

During his ministry, he has taught a wide variety of classes including English, Bible, speech, drama, computer applications, drama, and journalism. He has also gained a wealth of experience in school administration. Bryan has a love for technology and was instrumental in adopting, installing, and maintaining much of the technology infrastructure at his previous school. He works with the technology here as well. Above all, Bryan loves serving the Lord in the ministry of Christian education.
Dr. Orlando Buria serves as the academic dean of WSCS. He holds an A.S. degree in electrical engineering technology and a B.S. degree with three majors (math, physical science, and biology) along with two minors (English and Spanish). He has an M.S. degree in science education and an M. Min. degree in ministry. Dr. Buria has also earned both an Ed.S. and a Ph.D. in educational administration.
Dr. Buria has taught high school classes for 39 years, served as an assistant school administrator for 5 years, and as the head administrator for a Christian school for 16 years. During that time he also served as a college professor (25 years) and as a college administrator (23 years).
The pastor and deacons of First Baptist Church of West Seneca have also established a School Committee to assist in the administration of West Seneca Christian School. We appreciate these wise and experienced leaders who work behind the scenes in service, leadership, accountability, and oversight.
