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 />
