New Testament Survey
Investigate the life and message of Jesus of Nazareth. Who was this influential Middle Eastern man in which the world’s largest religion is based upon? Why do so many people follow his teachings? How did Christianity get started? What does the Bible teach and is it relevant to our lives today?
The New Testament Survey course guides students through a study of the Gospels in order to find out who Jesus is, what he taught, and what he did. The course then takes a survey approach to the rest of the writings of the New Testament so that students are familiar with the authors, letters and context of the New Testament period.
Stories from the Old Testament
Betrayal, abuse, love, forgiveness, and more are the themes found in the stories of the Old Testament. Intriguing story lines, but also lessons for us to learn for our lives today. Students will explore the over-arching 4-part story of the Bible including God and Creation, the Fall of Humanity, the History of God’s People, and Ultimate Redemption - as well as the practical life lessons these ancient writings provide.
Live Fully
Students will learn how Christian faith impacts every area of life and human culture. The Live Fully course is the integration of three concentrations: worldview, identity, and calling. As a result of the course, students will have gained confidence and clarity to live as the “salt of the earth” and “light of the world” in this complex, changing world.
Blueprints
Students are stressed out by the workload of school and the pressures to succeed. There is often a lack of clarity for why they are even sitting in the classroom in the first place. The Blueprints curriculum aims to give purpose to students’ lives in the present while also casting a hopeful but realistic vision for their future.
Comparative Religions
This study offers students the opportunity to compare the Christian faith with other religions of the world. The study leads students through an evaluation of Christianity first, then proceeds to engage students with the beliefs and practices of other religions. The 6 areas of study for each religion are:
