CHURCH STARTS EDUCATIONAL MINISTRY
MATH, SCIENCE CLASSES TAUGHT USING CREATION DESIGN PERSPECTIVE
Posted: October 1, 2011 at 4:49 a.m.
‘IN THE BEGINNING ...’ Pete Golden describes the venation of a Virginia creeper leaf Sept. 22 while teaching a biology class at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville. Golden began teaching free classes at the church in July.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” The opening words of Genesis adorn a poster on the classroom wall. They’re the starting point for the biology class taught in that room — and for the math classes down the hall.
“Our main presupposition is that God made us - God made everything - for his glory. We take that to how he created and designed the universe.”
REV. PAUL SAGAN Church pastor
