Biblical Worldview for Middle School GVL

Monday AND Wednesday

Course Description

Biblical worldview is an elective course designed to explore and interpret life through the truths of God’s Word.  Students will explore topics such as creation, humanity, sin, salvation, morality along with other biblical teachings. Our goal is to guide students in examining these concepts individually as well as with their families, in order to help shape one’s perspective on the world around them.  In today’s world it is becoming more and more crucial for students to begin to own what they truly believe, and our hope is that this course will help equip them in their ability to navigate societal challenges. Students take part in responding to diverse biblical topics through both dialogue and written response. This course is to be considered for students who would like to develop a more biblical worldview and strengthen their faith in the process.

To be successful in this class:

Students should come to class ready to utilize critical thinking, work well collaboratively, participate, and follow directions.  At home assignments may consist of responding to certain topics in various ways including journaling and/or family discussions, some reading and scripture memorization.
