In order to gain vital experience in the teaching field, I volunteered to work at West Rome Baptist Church’s Vacation Bible School. Although this setting was not in a school, the characteristics and guidelines were the same. Beginning at nine o’clock in the morning on June twenty-sixth, I, along with many adults and about a hundred children of all ages, gathered in the sanctuary of West Rome Baptist Church.

    After reading GCU’s doctrinal statement, Four Pillars and Christian Worldview, I think GCU faith based university is one that many people can be inspired by. This university not only strives to have academic success but it strives for academic success through Jesus Christ and faith. GCU has a biblically rooted mission and having Christ in all that you do is important to the university. The difference between GCU’s academic experience and a non-faith-based university is that there is more than one religious faith in the university compared to GCU Christian based.

    FSH Christian Academy began from the hope of one woman to find a place that her daughter, who received a brain injury and suffered from post-concussion syndrome, could continue her senior year and graduate on time; and the desire of another woman to meet the educational needs of students on an individual basis in small classroom settings. Acquainted with the strengths of homeschooling and private education, Karen Holmes discerned God was changing her career path, but she did not know how or when God would use her.
