July 2021 Fidelis Letter from the President
Dear JWC family and friends,
Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD (Psalm 144:15b, ESV).
The Psalmist, King David, spoke these words concerning his own people and nation. Our early American founding fathers saw the importance of acknowledging God. They risked their lives to gain the freedoms we enjoy today, especially the freedom to worship God.
Among those founding fathers was a man called John Witherspoon. Witherspoon had a noble vision for developing godly citizen leaders. Beginning in 1768, he served as a pastor, an educator, and president of the College of New Jersey, which became Princeton University. At the risk of his life, Witherspoon signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and was the only signer who was both an active clergyman and a college president.
Some 250 years later, God has called this college that bears John Witherspoon’s name to equip a new generation of godly citizen leaders who follow Christ’s example and teaching.
Now entering into its tenth year, JWC is up for reaffirmation of accreditation. Recently a team of peer professionals visited and gave the College the following commendation:
The Evaluation Team commends the board, the president and the team of administrators, faculty and staff for their commitment to strengthen, develop, and move forward the Institution offering Christ-centered, classical liberal arts education to prepare godly leaders with fidelity to the spirit of the American founding.
Thank you for your prayers and support of the students at John Witherspoon College so that they may receive a Christ-centered, classical education and be sent out for service to the church and the world. May you have a blessed Independence Day celebration and a fruitful summer as you allow God to be Lord of your life in this generation and for the benefit of generations to come.
Sincerely yours in Christ, Ronald Lewis President
