A Walk Through History

There’s nothing quite like having history come to life through the written word as well as through an artist's stroke of the brush. Students in James Ugland's 9th Grade Western Civilization Class took a “Gallery Walk” around the Worship Center where students got into pairs and were given a packet that had small paragraphs describing a piece of art that students then had to go and find.

“This project was for our Medieval Europe Unit,” said Ugland. “We used pictures depicting the Notre Dame Cathedral, a Byzantine Icon of Jesus, and the Bayeux Tapestry. I love doing this project because looking at Medieval Art or any historical art gives a great glimpse into what the people of that time period looked like, cared about and thought about. It is so enjoyable to watch students get excited about putting art and history together to put themselves in the shoes of those who lived before us.”

Lawton Blevins loved the fact that it was “an active project that gets our minds engaged.” While Alden Baugh said, “I like being out of the classroom and being able to learn..” and “Work with a partner!” added her classmate Avery Clark.

We love learning history especially with a creative edge!

PCA Students Attend Endure Apologetics Conference 2022

Life: Origin. Value. Purpose. These words made up the theme of this year's Apologetics conference that was held at Charleston Southern University. Last Friday, PCA’s Juniors and Seniors, under the guidance of Bible teacher, Quinn Disrud, and History teacher. Dr. Roger Weaver, were able to attend this thought-provoking conference.

The purpose of the Endure Conference is to act as a “catalyst for helping students understand how the Bible defines life's origin, details life's true, eternal value, and declares life's ultimate purpose. Endure prepares high school students under university professors who specialize in Theology, Student Ministry, Philosophy, and the Old and New Testament.”

Students listened to Keynote Speaker Dr. Brent Crowe, Vice President of Leadership University in Orlando, Florida speak before dividing into Breakout sessions which focused on topics such as “Paul and the Meaning of Life”, “Life in the Body,” and “Mission and the Defense of the Diversity of Life.”

“It was educational in learning about the origin and purpose of life through interactive stories!” agreed members of the Junior class.

“The Endure Conference was a great opportunity for our kids to dive deeper into Christian World and life views!” explained Dr. Weaver.
