Family Life Hometown Heroes: Parker-Jordan Christian Academy - 1/21/25

Hometown Heroes

a Family Life Tuesday news feature and podcast

Co-founder Ray Oberst tells us of the value he sees in Christian weekday education as a New York State Christian school continues to grow

Today's edition of "Hometown Heroes" features the co-founder of the Parker-Jordan Christian Academy in Allegany County, New York.

Pastor Ray Oberst tells our Mark Wester about the vision and the launch for a Christian K-12 school there. While many look at faith-based education as an alternative with Scriptures and traditional family values as a primary goal --- and those do happen at PJCA too --- one of the biggest accomplishments that happens at a Christian school is marked improvements in academic performance.

Oberst talks about how the academy has seen mushrooming growth since it opened with a handful of students in 2019. He says families are seeing the progress students make in their classes, extracurriculars, faith, and their emotional/personal/relational lives.
