SUMMER 2025: ROOTED

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." - Ephesians 3:16-18

This summer, more than 115 PTM students explored what it means to be ROOTED in Christ!

We recently wrapped up a vibrant seven-week Summer Program featuring five unique camps—each filled with energy, new experiences, deep friendships, and the unwavering support of our incredible volunteer groups. Throughout the summer, students had countless opportunities to grow in their faith, try new things, form lasting bonds, and, of course, have a whole lot of fun.


Thanks to partnerships with over 20 local organizations, students explored activities like sports, music, water recreation, culinary arts, yoga, dance, overnight camp, and more. To learn more about our amazing summer partners, visit our Instagram page.


Here’s what some of our students had to say about their summer at PTM:


"Water Walkers was my favorite because I've never been on a boat or tubing before." - Jer'Mia, PTM Middle School Student


"Going to Camp Wonderfully Made was my favorite part of summer!" - Tina, PTM Elementary Student


"My favorite part of the summer was meeting new people and going on field trips!" - Valentina, PTM Middle School Student

Reflections from over a decade at PTM

Congratulations to 2025 PTM Graduates!

By Dwight Johnson • April 30, 2025
This year, we are proud to celebrate seven seniors who are taking the next step—some heading to college, others to trade school, and some entering the workforce. What unites them all is the strong sense of community they’ve built here at PTM. A key part of that community is generosity, and we are deeply grateful to the Weaver Family and the Kuhn Family, who together provided over $40,000 in scholarships. Their support has helped not only these graduating seniors but also several current PTM college students.

The Ku-Kuhn PTM Alumni Scholarship

It is our honor and privilege to establish the Ku-Kuhn PTM Alumni Scholarship in memory of our mothers, Evelyn Chen Ku and Rae Elisabeth Kuhn, to be awarded to PTM alumni in pursuit of further education. Our mothers were dedicated teachers and faithful Christian women with loving, caring and generous hearts. They were dearly loved by their families and colleagues and made a difference in the lives of so many children from the late 1940s through the 1980s.
