Our New Home! We are very excited to have a new home

(toward Oil City). This was originally the Pinoak School and now is owned by
Venango Woods Church. It is a wonderful building with spacious, bright
classrooms and hallways. Our new address is:
3973 State Route 257, Suite 1, Seneca, PA 16346
Stop in any time and pay us a visit. We are still enrolling pre-kindergarten

History
After graduating from Penn State, Princeton Seminary and Prairie Bible
Institute, Earl F. Tygert (Brother Earl) founded Life Ministries, Inc. in
1938. The Lord's International Faith Enterprise ("Life") was established as
a faith supported ministry with the express purpose of proclaiming and
promoting the Word of God. Brother Earl and Mrs. Tygert ministered
extensively in the Orient, spending a total of 18 years in Japan as well as
preaching to missionaries in China and Korea.
 In 1967 the Lord led the Tygert family back to the United States. In 1969
Life Ministries acquired the property at River Ridge, near Franklin, with
the hopes that a Bible school, Christian day school, and a missionary and
conference center might someday be established.
Christian Life Academy had the first meeting of inquiry during the late
winter of 1974; and the school doors opened at Life Ministries' (the
"Castle") on the River Ridge property the next September, with a modest six
students. In the next four years the school grew to more than 120 students.
God continues to keep His hand of blessing upon our school.
In 1983 the Academy joined the Association of Christian Schools
International. ACSI is the largest Christian school association and serves
its members in the
 United States and around the world by offering
conventions, conferences, school and teacher accreditation, student
activities, and various other services designed to improve the quality of
Christian education. In 1996, after two and one-half years of in-depth
study, preparation, and committee observation, the elementary received
accreditation from Association of Christian Schools International.
In 1991 the Lord enabled us to purchase the former Cranberry Area High
School. CLA continues to initiate
new academic programs and co-curricular activities to meet the spiritual and
educational needs of the students.
In 2010 CLA relocated to the the Pinoak School, now owned and operated by
Venango Woods Church in Seneca.
