Harris Institute


The Harris Institute is named in honor of Dr. Antipas’ parents, who were both dedicated educators. His father, the late Bishop Dr. James L. Harris, served as a high school English teacher for 34 years before retiring. In 2024-25, +Dr. James L. Harris was awarded the doctorate in humane letters from his alma mater, LaGrange College. Antipas’ mother, Dr. Carolyn J. Harris, is a preschool teacher with a Doctor of Education degree in K-12.
+Dr. James and Dr. Carolyn also founded Christian Way Academy in 1984, and it closed in 2014 (30 years). Antipas and his seven siblings are proud graduates of the former Christian Way Academy.
The Harris Institute is dedicated to creating the finest lifelong learning opportunities to enhance faith and human flourishing. We facilitate colloquies, workshops, seminars, forums, courses, and education collaborations. We are concerned about ongoing training on topics that involve faith and the public square. Some of them are faith and economics, the role of faith in society, faith and public health, and more. Financially support our global missions below.
