The Lord's Provision

It has now been a little over a year since the first meetings took place regarding opening a classical Christian school in Little Rock. In that time, we have seen PCA change from just an idea into an actual school with teachers, curriculum, enrolled students and a location for the 2010-11 school year. What an opportunity this has been to join in the work of the Lord! What a blessing it has been to those of us thus employed!

It is worth mentioning that the thing most tangible to me throughout this entire process has been the calm undergirding of all of our efforts by our Savior, Jesus Christ. No doubt there have been moments that I have felt unsteady and even a bit shaken by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but those disruptions have been experienced as one knowing that he was standing on solid rock, not lost at sea.

Surely there are challenges yet to come, and no man knows what a day may bring. But it is good to pause and give thanks: to God for all He has done thus far, to God for all He continues to do, and to God for all He still might do with classical Christian education through PCA in Little Rock. To Him be the glory!

Summer Update Packet Available

PCA has produced a brief booklet which details our most recent developments. If you would like to receive a copy of this summer update packet, please email your mailing address to pinnacleclassical@gmail.com. We would love to send you a packet!

PCA is still accepting student applications for the 2010-11 school year. Please let us know if you would like to receive an application packet.

PCA Announces School Location

We are very excited to announce that we have finalized our location for the 2010-11 school year!

The congregation of Rose Hill Church of the Nazarene has graciously agreed to allow PCA to rent classroom and extracurricular space for next year. The facilities and location of Rose Hill seem to be a perfect fit for PCA's first year, and we pray that it will be a blessing to our students and families.

Rose Hill Church of the Nazarene is conveniently located at 11001 Kanis Road – just west of the Shackleford Rd. and Kanis Rd. intersection.
