In a world that is increasingly<br />

information, and change,<br />

building our faith on the<br />

bedrock of Scripture is so<br />

important.<br />

Our Bible<br />

Curriculum<br />

Foundations of faith<br />

During your freshman year, we lay the<br />

foundation for our Bible curriculum. A<br />

full understanding of the Bible rests<br />

on a knowledge of the Old Testament<br />

and how it points to Jesus in the New<br />

Testament.<br />

Spiritual formation<br />

Armed with an understanding of the<br />

totality of Scripture, your sophomore<br />

year will focus on the question, “How do<br />

believers grow in their faith?” You will<br />

learn the difference between justification<br />

and sanctification as you learn to<br />

practice spiritual disciplines.<br />

Life of Christ<br />

Junior year, you will spend time working<br />

through the four Gospels so you can<br />

respond to the question Jesus posed to<br />

His disciples in Phillipi—“Who do people<br />

say that I am?”<br />

Doctrine and apologetics<br />

As a senior, you will study the<br />

fundamental beliefs of Christianity. Our<br />

goal is for you to know exactly what a<br />

person who lives a life committed to<br />

Scripture believes.<br />
