PCA Hosts Its First Public Meeting

On Tuesday, October 27th, Pinnacle Classical Academy hosted its first public informational meeting in the fellowship hall of Covenant Presbyterian Church. We entered the evening with nervous anticipation, wondering who would come and what kinds of reactions we would have towards starting a new private school in Little Rock. We left the evening with excitement and enthusiasm over what God is doing through the birth of Pinnacle Classical Academy. The Lord blessed us with a great crowd of interested, like-minded individuals who are bearing the responsibility to train their children to love the Lord their God will all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

We are thankful for the many generous women who provided delicious desserts for the evening! We were also blessed by our keynote speaker, Mr. John Hodges - founding board member of Westminster Academy in Memphis, TN. Mr. Hodges clearly expressed the need for change in modern education, and he explained how classical, Christian education trains a soul to love that which is worth loving and to become eternal students of the person of God - not just intelligent individuals suited for a temporal vocation here on Earth.

PCA's Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr. Marcus Moody, shared how he and his wife, along with board members David and Mary Peery, arrived at the decision to begin founding Pinnacle Classical Academy. He also shared the many ways that the Board has already seen God opening doors for PCA and blessing its efforts. His talk was a great reminder of the providence and sovereignty of God.

Overall, PCA's first public meeting was a wonderful night, full of excitement and anticipation. If you were unable to attend the meeting but are interested in PCA and in classical, Christian education, we will soon be posting the audio recording from Tuesday night's events. Check back soon to listen to Mr. Hodges' and Dr. Moody's talks.

PCA will be hosting other opportunities to share its vision for classical, Christian education in Little Rock. We plan to host another public informational meeting early in 2010, and we will have other gatherings scheduled between now and then. Keep checking our blog for up-to-date information on these events. And, as always, please feel free to contact us if you would like to talk individually about classical, Christian education. We would love to meet you!
