Gillespie Academy Preparing Students for Service in God's Kingdom

Gillespie Academy is a one year post-secondary program designed to prepare students for university, future employment, or the building of a Christian home. Grounded in the Reformed Christian Faith, the courses provide essential tools to meet the practical and philosophical challenges of secular university and adult life. Students will gain skills in research, communication, and critical thinking,

as well as grow in their understanding and ability to proclaim and defend the Christian Faith. What makes Gillespie Academy distinct from other foundational study programs is its emphasis on a biblical understanding of the nature and purpose of education itself. Rather than adopting the secular view, which maintains that education is simply a means for obtaining a better career, Gillespie Academy views the goal of education as the knowledge of God. Students will learn to see that from the One True and Living God comes the diversity of the created universe and this diversity, rightly understood, points back to the One who created it.

And we’re back again!

Thanking the Lord for this new class and for a successful first few weeks.

“For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.”~Proverbs 2:6-10a
