Allen McClure was born in New Jersey and attended Christian School from K-12.  Growing up in New Jersey and Lancaster County, PA, he has had extensive experience with church and school, serving in the choir and youth, teaching, and preaching.  He studied at Whitefield College of the Bible in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, and earned a Master's in biblical studies from Trinity Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana. 

​

After graduation, he spent eleven months in Ukraine training public school teachers to teach the Bible.  On his return home, he was the first teacher hired at a new Christian School in Elkton, MD, teaching 5-6th grade as a classroom teacher, middle and high school history, Bible, government, formal logic, English, grammar, and literature. 

​

A pastor for 20 years and homeschool parent for 20 years, Allen's passion has been to help people of all ages too, in the words of James Boice, "think and act Biblically".  He has prayed and worked toward a Christian School in Franklin County, and is delighted to be part of God's work at Providence Christian Academy.
