Oren Paris III has his mother Inez on the governing board, his sister Angie running the online college, his brother-in-law Mike Novak raising money, his sister Twila running the prep school. Not one of them is qualified to teach or to manage higher education. They call Oren "Dr. Paris" now because he has an online DMin (not a doctorate) from Laurel University. So does "Dr." Phillip Brassfield, chairman of the board. |

Twila Paris Official "I am so blessed to have Oren as my brother and so grateful for his faithful service in God's Kingdom. Those who know him well know that he is a man of deep integrity with a long established record of exemplary character. It is very clear that his highest aim is always to please God. My family and I are humbled and strengthened by the many people of good will who are believing the best and standing with us in prayer during this season we could never have imagined." -Twila Paris |
