Religious Studies 1

“Finding our identity in Christ” The first semester of Religious Studies covers the Old Testament in chronological order. We begin with creation and how the Trinity was and has always existed, followed by the first earthly sin, the Patriarchs, Moses, and Exodus, and we compare the Tabernacle of the Old Testament with the New Testament and how Jesus took the place of the Tabernacle. We end the semester by looking at various kings and prophets of Israel. Throughout the semester we talk about how Jesus is in each of these events and how our identity can be found in Him. Resources for this course include the Bible and resources from Chronological Bible Teaching by Iva May.

Religious Studies 2

“Finding our identity in Christ” The second semester of Religious Studies begins with the prophecy of Christ and how these have been fulfilled. We look at the lineage of Jesus and the good news that His lineage brings. We also study Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. We end the semester with a detailed study and understanding of Revelations. Throughout the semester we talk about how Jesus is where we should find our identity. Resources for this course include the Bible and resources from Chronological Bible Teaching by Iva May.

Uncommon (for Women)

In this course, we will look at what a Biblically uncommon woman looks like in a world that tells you to live by its standards. We will read and study about various women in the Bible and how God used each of them in His story. We will discuss relevant topics that young women face in today’s world using Proverbs 31 and compare the world’s response versus what God’s word says.

Uncommon (for Men)

This is a course based on Uncommon by Tony Dungy. Throughout this course, students will read the book, and we will also be looking into Coach Dungy’s life along with many others to see how God can use anyone. Students’ takeaway at the end of this course should be that each one of God’s children (coaches and athletes, parents and kids, teachers and students, etc.) has a God-given plan and purpose for their life. Students, in this course, will learn how to find that purpose and make the best choices to ensure that they are being a light for the World while not being conformed to it.

Defending Your Faith This class is a biblical course that has been designated for the senior class. Throughout this course, students will learn not only how to openly talk about their faith; they will also investigate how to interact and react to the world that they are preparing to enter as they graduate and move on to the next phase of life. In this class, students will learn how to study their faith; however, this is also a debate-driven class where students will learn to articulate the meaning behind their beliefs.
