Welcome to Our Community, a friendly, interactive source of information for current families as well as prospective families. The section will be updated frequently. Prayer requests, prayers, Bible verses - Our Community page offers a mix of information and inspiration for everyone involved in Peoples Christian Academy.
Peoples Christian Academy upholds the importance of pursuing practical ways whereby we can be “salt and light” in our culture. Mr. Tim Barnett has captured the essence of this ideal by establishing a pro-life club in our High School Division. By partnering with Toronto Right to Life and National Campus Life Network he has been able to source information and speakers to acquaint our High School students with the real ethical/biblical issues surrounding the “right to life” debate in our culture.
On Monday, November 8, Mr. Barnett was presented with "The Gwen Landolt Award for Outstanding Pro-Life Leadership" in 2010. We congratulate Mr. Barnett on this remarkable achievement. Please pray for him as he continues to give leadership to our students in this area and also for our student members of “Lifeline,” our school’s pro-life club. Pray also that they will be effective in leading the way for other high school clubs to develop in the Toronto area.
Special thank you's to Joshua Rosenblat, Brent Austring and Daisy Ng for your presentations, Mr. Alex Phillips for the organization of these Mission Week events and Mr. William Lo for the videos. We trust Dr. Jean Chamberlain Froese was able to eventually leave England after the volcanic ashe cleared the skies. Our apologies to Joshua Rosenblat for not having his presentation online due to logistical reasons.
