Each year, PHC’s chapel follows a theme chosen by President Haye. The theme this year is “Who I am in Christ.”
That theme will be broken down into weekly topics, taken from Scripture. The first section of themes are centered around the topic: “I am accepted.” This week’s verse is John 1:12: "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."
Right now, our students are hearing in chapel that they are accepted as children of God. Above all else, their core identity is in Christ!

Why do we study philosophy and politics at PHC? Why major in Political Theory or Political Philosophy?
Political Theory and Political Philosophy are tracks of PHC's Government major. The students who choose these tracks study philosophy and political thought, from ancient to contemporary, as well as the application of these to current policy issues. The courses emphasize reading, discussion, and writing.
As Russell Kirk writes, a good society is characterized by order, justice, and freedom. The Theory and Philosophy tracks allow students to engage with these philosophical ideas at a high level and apply timeless wisdom to our current societal issues. These skills are crucial for understanding law and governance.

Can you feel the excitement?
We're all smiles after a successful new student orientation! As a new semester begins, the students that our admissions team has counseled, guided, and prayed for behind the scenes are finally here! Welcome to PHC, new students, and a big thanks to our admissions team!

Why do we study literature at PHC? Why major in English?

"Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches, but let him who glories glory in the Lord."
These words, taken from Jeremiah 9:23-24 and 1 Corinthians 1:31, are inscribed on the walls of the grand lobby of the Barbara Hodel Center lobby to remind students to glorify God and not boast in their wisdom, strength, or riches.

Maybe you've heard of PHC's commitments: High Academic Rigor, Fidelity to the Spirit of the American Founding, and Unwavering Biblical Worldview. Here are some Patrick Henry College distinctives that flow from our three commitments that you might not know about!
🏛️Apprenticeship Methodology: PHC requires students to complete internships, apprenticeships, and special projects to prepare them for the realities of the contemporary workplace through practical professional experience.
📚Outreach to Home Educators: Although PHC does not exclude students who have attended public or Christian schools, its programs are designed to resonate with the values of the Christian home school movement.
💲Financial Independence: PHC will not accept any funding, private or governmental, which includes terms which supersede the authority of the Board of Trustees or conflict with its Fundamental Statements.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
Before beginning the academic year, the PHC family walked and prayed over the entire campus. PHC's second annual prayer walk attracted a huge group of student workers and students who arrived on campus early for sports and residence life preparation.
Nothing we do at PHC could be accomplished apart from God's power. We are immensely blessed and filled with gratitude to be starting another school year!
"As I loved a student when they were not treating me the way that they should have, I saw the way that I treat God and the way he loves me through it.” Alumna Rachel McCracken—PHC's new female RD—spent 8 months working at Christian Encounter Ranch, a program for troubled teens.

SIGN UP TODAY: The Imago Dei. Check http://phc.edu/imagodei The Imago Dei is an eight-lecture course that brings together Patrick Henry College professors and a group of distinguished speakers to shed light on some of the most pressing issues facing the church today. The first Christians changed the world by proclaiming that humans are made in the image of God. The Imago Dei is at the center of what Christians have taught about politics and morality. It’s been central to Christian teaching about marriage, property, caring for the needy, and even science. If Christians want to find a path forward through many of the controversial issues facing the church and society today, we’ll find that path by looking again at what it means that God made us—all of us—in His own image. #phc #phclife #phcprepared #conservativechristiancollege #imagodei #study #onlinecourse

To be pro-life is to defend the dignity of every human being in every stage of development and in every condition of life. To be pro-life is to combat the lie that a person's age, or socioeconomic status, or ethnicity, or origin, or position, or title, or anything else in any way apportions their value. To be pro-life is to recognize that our worth is entirely bound up in being created imago Dei—in the image of God. And since our condition as made imago Dei is essential to our created being, every life is intrinsically, unalterably, and eternally valuable. This movement is radically anti-death. It rejects the lie that life is futile and that there is ever a justification to cut short one's own or anyone else's life. This movement is radically self-sacrificial. It recognizes that we must be the ones to step-up and care for the orphans, the widows, the outcast, the destitute. It recognizes that the purpose of life is not to gratify our own desires or to make happiness our end. To be pro-life is to recognize that the greatest goods in this life are to glorify God and love our neighbors as ourself. And while this movement is grieved by the horrors of abortion, it is also filled with joy through the knowledge that Christ redeems the ugliest of sins and that He has come to overcome the darkness. If you're willing, please like and reshare this video. Let's create a culture of light and life. @marchforlife @studentsforlife "For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

Trinity and Calvin just take 1st place in Brief Writing as Petitioner and Ainsley and Jason take 2nd place in Oral Argument in the 2024 American Moot Court Association National Tournament! “Last fall, PHC qualified 13 teams in total for pre-national tournaments, including four regional champions, which may have tied some single-season records for most regional wins,” said Peter K., Moot Court Head Coach for PHC. “Twelve of these teams—the most we could send—went on to compete at three pre-national tournaments in January.” "Not only that, " adds Director Johnson, "seven of our twelve pre-national teams earned a bid to the national championship—the only school to achieve such results. All four of our allotted national teams excelled by advancing to elimination rounds. Kudos to our students and coaches on this accomplishment, which was the result of much hard work and a true collaborative spirit. " Coach Peter summarized an exciting season saying, “I was incredibly proud of how the entire team prepared and competed this season. We greatly appreciate all of your encouragement, prayers, and acts of service to us throughout the season. And I’m excited to see what next season brings.” Great job to all PHC competitors, Director Johnson, Head Coach Peter K., and Coaches Bock, Reynolds, and Spena!

"Joy is the natural outflow from a proper focus on the nature of God, the acts of God, the blessings of God, and the mercies of God.
