“Now more than ever, it is critical that our Christian faith remains fresh in our hearts and minds. At LRCA, we never stop growing or learning. When we were approached by the Colson Center for Christian Worldview to be one of five Christian schools to pilot the program, we were VERY interested. Seven teachers and our upper school head, Dr. Justin Smith, immersed themselves in the best of Christian thinking, and what it means to worship God with our minds,” shares Dr. Gary Arnold, Head of School. “I commend and congratulate Little Rock Christian’s Colson Fellows for their drive and commitment. I know they will leverage what they have learned in order to serve and coach teachers and students. Not only that, we are very excited to bring parents into the conversation,” Dr. Arnold continues.

Warriroville’s Colson Fellows graduated from the program in spring 2021. Shonda Phelps (JH Science) and Faith Best (HS BWV) represented LRCA at the culminating event called the Wilberforce Weekend hosted by the Colson Center. Colson Fellows’ namesake Charles Colson explains, “It is not what we do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through us. God doesn’t want our success; He wants us. He doesn’t demand our achievements; He demands our obedience. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of paradox, where through the ugly defeat of a cross, a holy God is utterly glorified. Victory comes through defeat; healing through brokenness; finding self through losing self.”
