One Story Ministries is the non-profit publishing arm of Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Ridgeland, MS. Its mission is to disseminate curricula and other resources that teach the entirety of God’s Word in a theologically Reformed, Christ-Centered, and Gospel-Driven manner.
John C. Kwasny, Ph.D. is the Director of One Story Ministries and the author of its current curricula offerings. He has been involved in Christian Education in the local church for over twenty years, and is currently the Director of Christian Education and Children’s Ministry at Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church (PCA). He is also a Biblical Counselor, Adjunct Faculty at Reformed Theological Seminary, and the Worldview Integration Specialist at Christ Covenant School. He and his wife Martie have eight children, 22 years old and under. They are also homeschoolers, as you may have already guessed.
John’ s interests are reading, writing, nearly any televised sport, and film. His central passion is teaching God’s Word and developing a Biblical Worldview in all areas of life.
I hail from the Reformed Tradition and haunted the Westminster Seminary bookstore in PA while I taught nearby. One of my greatest concerns (and grievances) has been the man-centered view of the gospel in Sunday School curricula (and its consequent Armenian moralism): the curricula in large about what the kids should go off and DO, in response to the lesson, than convicting truths about what God has done for them in the finished work of Jesus. I invite you to chk out my thoughts on achievement, culture, and faith at aholisticjourney.wordpress.com.
