Field Trip: Waldensian Trail of Faith
Author: Katelyn Wissinger| Student, Living Education – Charlotte, 2025-26
On November 19 the Living Education students along with faculty went on a field trip to the Waldensian Trail of Faith in Valdese, NC to learn more about Church history. The Waldensians were a group of Christians who the Living Church of God considers to be part of the Thyatira era of the Church mentioned in Revelation 2:18. They kept several of the true teachings from the Bible, such as the Sabbath, and faced much persecution as a result. The students toured the outdoor trail that included replicas of important buildings and monuments in Waldensian history and the second years gave speeches on several of these. This field trip broadened the understanding of this specific time period in Church history that that first year Living Education students had just been learning about in their Biblical Doctrines class.
