“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9 NIV
As cadets of the PNPA, their duties consist of attending the religious service of their chosen faith. The PNPA recognizes the importance of spiritual development in personal growth and development.
“Observe Sunday” is a mandate wherein PNPA cadets are required to observe the day as a day of rest and worship. This serves as an opportunity to cultivate a healthy balance as well as to foster spiritual growth. It is important because it allows cadets to recharge, reflect, and connect with their faith, ultimately leading to better overall well-being and effectiveness as a PNPA cadet.
The PNPA values the freedom of religion and acknowledges that each individual has a right to practice their own faith. The academy ensures to provide opportunities for all cadets to observe their respective faiths.
This is a significant part of the PNPA’s mission, as it aims to produce well-rounded and service-oriented leaders who hold themselves accountable to a higher being. The PNPA stresses the importance of fostering ethical and morally grounded leaders who will serve with excellence.
