9. Dr. Mark T. Mitchell, unveils a new painting titled, "The Prayer Warrior" in Honor of Dr. Steven Hake
Given to the school through a grant donated by the McDonald Agape Foundation, the painting serves to promote a sense of worship and prayerfulness in the student body.
The painting depicts the beloved professor of literature, Dr. Steve Hake, as he walks around Lake Bob holding in his hands the names of students, professors, and staff. For more than a decade, Dr. Hake has prayerfully walked around the pond, praying through the members of the PHC family.
The image captures what we hope will be true of all the students who pass through these halls of learning and spiritual development.

13. Dr. Cox Delivers the Fall 2021 Faith & Reason Lecture
"Self-reliance can be helpful when expressed in skill sets," Cox said, "but when it prevents one from being clothed in humility and loving service to others, it wreaks havoc. Indeed, it can become a form of prideful individualism."
In his Faith & Reason lecture titled "Character: The Necessary Foundation of Calling," Dr. Darrel Cox encouraged students to use their relationship with Christ as the bedrock of their lives. If their identity is not rooted in Christ, they would find themselves adrift. He warned the student body against trying to live the Christian life in a vacuum, emphasizing the need for community.
