There, he learned and experienced more of the unconditional love of God in all its personal and doctrinal richness. In his final year at PHC, Ethan became a member of Trinity. Currently, Ethan teaches humanities at Dominion Christian School, pursues graduate studies through Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and works at Trinity as a pastoral intern.
