Program Of Alternate Studies

As our PAS summer courses come to a close, we pause to give thanks — above all, to God, whose grace carried us through this season of growth and community. ☀️🌿📚

To our dedicated instructors: thank you for sharing your wisdom and walking with our students in faith and scholarship.

To our students: your commitment, curiosity, and openness brought life to every classroom and table.

To our hardworking staff: your behind-the-scenes care and tireless support made each day possible — from meals to logistics, your service was a quiet foundation for everything we accomplished.

Together, we have not only studied, but lived the call of Christ — to follow Him as one body, supporting and encouraging one another along the way.

With gratitude and hope, we send everyone forward, renewed in purpose and united in mission.

We are sad to report that after a short illness one of our PAS family members, Chuck Nelson, has gone to be with our Lord. Chuck was from Texas and attended Summer School in 2012. Chuck was a very busy person. He helped start many different community groups, worked in prison ministry, and served as pulpit supply. He took voice and piano lessons to be a better praise leader. He wanted to do evangelism work, and was hoping to be of value to God, his denomination and family. He figured he would be 104 before he would retire. At that time he would sell the airplane he was hoping to have and purchase a hang glider to soar to the highest height he could reach. Please keep his wife Phyllis and family in your prayers.
