In an impactful turn of events, Pastor Justin Walker of the Salt and Light Baptist Church in La Grange, Kentucky has established a tuition-free school as an alternative to public education. This move follows a disquieting encounter at a local public library where he found his 11-year-old daughter being exposed to LGBTQ-themed literature.

Expressing his indignation on Social Media, he highlighted the prevalence of such exposure within public schooling systems that deeply concerned him, and led him to seek effective alternatives. Pent up with real news about peer pressure influencing children’s moral compasses, Walker embarked on this new journey rooted in his personal homeschooling experience following the demise of his spouse.

Despite challenges faced in launching the First Principal Academy within a six-month period after making the decision, Pastor Walker remains committed to providing this service motivated by his Christian worldview. He wants parents to know that while students do not have to sign any statement asserting their faith in Christianity, Christian principles form an integral part of its curriculum. The ultimate goal for Walker is conveying the gospel message across all classrooms each day.

Walker aspires for First Principal Academy to act as trailblazers inspiring other churches across America to join in providing trusted news resources catering to Christian teachings and practices. He eagerly invests energy into fostering ‘a light’ within every child attending these institutions – hoping it would encourage churches nationwide. Their efforts have already started fructifying through similar initiatives sprouting in Florida and Georgia.

His durable vision aims towards spreading this noble initiative throughout the nation as part of larger outreach endeavors taken up by churches besides advocating widespread prayers protecting the church and preparing teachers and students alike for pioneering this essential endeavor.

Meanwhile, other breaking news from religious circles reports cases such as Pastor Steven J Lawson stepping down from ministry due to an inappropriate relationship and Fuller Theological Seminary professor Vince Bantu claiming that Gospel teachings were insufficient merged with racial politics and identity-driven ideologies into their curriculum.
This latest upheaval coupled with numerous others certainly presses on the need for fostering Christian teachings and principles within educational structures – an endeavour that First Principal Academy is striving to achieve.
