About Us

Timothy G. Stephenson, MPH   (Mr. Stephenson is currently accepting new students.)

• Serious about my Christian faith for 37 years (see the Westminster Confession and the Westminster Larger Catechism for details on what I believe);
• Active in Covenant Church of Willis, part of the Fellowship of Reformed Churches, since moving here ten years ago; a Deacon at Foothills Presbyterian Church in Southern California; ten years of church and community theater ministry; and an Epidemiologist with a summer medical missionary project in Swaziland;
• Married 21 years and thrilled with my dear wife; one daughter who respects advice from parents and elders, exhibits Godly character and makes wise choices;
• I believe in and teach a literal six-day creation. I will explain the currently taught evolutionary philosophies since students are expected to know them, but I do so making it very clear that I consider evolution to be worthless as a statement of origins and at best useful only as a rough tool in classification (as one could say that roadsters and coupes are 'cousins').
• I believe and teach that one should save intercourse and related behaviors for marriage, and that life begins at conception. I teach about birth control if requested by parents; when I do I make sure to explain the abortifacient actions of birth control pills.
• Minor farm skills: I've milked our cow in rain, sleet, and snow, wrassled calves, built fences, mowed fields, thrown hay, fixed trucks, and put venison in the freezer.
• I enjoy web design and blacksmithing, but my greatest joy is being a good husband and father;
• For character references contact my pastors (email us for their names and contact information).
