About Us

            King’s Meadow Study Cen­ter was estab­lished in 1991 by Dr. George Grant to help Chris­tians develop a cul­tural expres­sion of the Protes­tant and Reformed Chrisian world­view in art, music, lit­er­a­ture, pol­i­tics, social research, com­mu­nity devel­op­ment, and education.

          We pro­vide tools to edu­cate, encour­age, and equip indi­vid­u­als, fam­i­lies and orga­ni­za­tions to apply a Bib­li­cal world­view to all spheres of life. In doing so, King’s Meadow is build­ing ref­or­ma­tion from the roots up—helping fam­i­lies dis­play the Glory of the Gospel first at home and then to the entire world.

Dr. George Grant

            Dr. George Grant first stepped into the rich tra­di­tion of Clas­si­cal Edu­ca­tion with self-study and explo­ration of the clas­sics as a young adult. This bur­geon­ing inter­est in Clas­si­cal Edu­ca­tion became a life­long pas­sion for Grant, who is now an estab­lished pas­tor and edu­ca­tor.
            Orig­i­nally (and always) a Texan, Grant moved his fam­ily to Mid­dle Ten­nessee in the early 1990s where he started King’s Meadow Study Cen­ter. Grant’s views on Clas­si­cal Edu­ca­tion are influ­enced by the works of great Scot­tish pas­tor, social reformer, edu­ca­tor, author, and sci­en­tist Thomas Chalmers (1780–1847) and Dutch politi­cian, jour­nal­ist, states­man, and the­olo­gian Abra­ham Kuyper (1837–1920).
            Like the men he admires, Grant wears many hats in his com­mu­nity: he is a hus­band, father, grand­fa­ther, men­tor, pres­i­dent of King’s Meadow Study Cen­ter, the pas­tor of Parish Pres­by­ter­ian Church, instruc­tor at and founder of Franklin Clas­si­cal School, chan­cel­lor of New Col­lege Franklin, writer, avid reader, run­ner, gar­dener, and bar­be­cue mas­ter.
            He is the author of dozens books in the areas of his­tory, biog­ra­phy, pol­i­tics, lit­er­a­ture, and social crit­i­cism, and he has writ­ten hun­dreds of essays, arti­cles, and columns. In addi­tion to his reg­u­lar classes in his­tory, lit­er­a­ture, the­ol­ogy, and the arts, Grant main­tains an active writ­ing and speak­ing sched­ule in this coun­try and around the world. His writ­ings on behalf of the home­less, inter­na­tional relief and devel­op­ment, racial rec­on­cil­i­a­tion, and on the sanc­tity of life have been high­lighted in var­ied media out­lets such as the Wall Street Jour­nal, the Wash­ing­ton Post, Focus on the Fam­ily, The 700 Club, the Coral Ridge Hour, Point of View, Cross­fire, World Mag­a­zine, Table Talk, and Chris­tian­ity Today.
            Grant has degrees in Polit­i­cal Sci­ence from the Uni­ver­sity of Hous­ton (B.A.), Phi­los­o­phy from White­field The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary (M.A., D.Litt., Ph.D.), Human­i­ties from Bel­haven Col­lege (D.Hum.), and The­ol­ogy at Knox The­o­log­i­cal Sem­i­nary (D.Min.).

Chalmers Fund

            The Chalmers Fund of King’s Meadow Study Cen­ter has been estab­lished to sup­port sub­stan­tive Chris­t­ian dis­ci­ple­ship and edu­ca­tion through endow­ments, schol­ar­ships, and resource development—from Franklin, Tenn. to the utter­most parts of the earth.

Sum Ergo Zoom, Run­ning Team 

Loosely trans­lated, “I think, there­fore I run.” Team Sum Ergo Zoom par­tic­i­pates annu­ally in the Rag­nar Relay—a 200-mile, 30-hour relay race from Chat­tanooga to Nashville to raise funds for the Chalmers Fund. 
Spon­sor­ship of this project goes to deserv­ing recip­i­ents of the Chalmers Fund Scholarship—particularly at Franklin Clas­si­cal School and New Col­lege Franklin.  For more infor­ma­tion and updates about team Sum Ergo Zoom go to the Run Blog.
