James H. Evans
Founder and Senior Instructor


“As an educator, I am interested in life change. As a Christian, I am interested in change that is consistent with the claims of Scripture. Christian education is an intentional process, based upon the Bible, focused on Christ, for the purpose of bringing the world into a significant relationship with God.”

“Biblical principles have application to all of life, in all environments, and in all settings. I desire to help people understand the relevancy of Scripture to the choices they make and the way they live. My role as a Christian educator, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, is to assist the learner to discover Biblical principles and apply them to daily life.”
