Secondary (6-12)

UPPER SCHOOL BIBLE

6th - 12th grade students will be presented with the truth of a biblical worldview, helping them distinguish it from the false worldviews of the day. Grounded in the teaching of the Scriptures, students will be challenged to examine how they think about the world and then lead them to see the world as it truly is. In addition, students will spend time learning how to study their bible, giving them a foundational understanding on how to utilize it when studying.
