Specific Aims

• This class will focus on preparing students intellectually to think Christianly about their education and the world. The class will cover general principles for developing a Christian worldview as well as more specific principles relating to fundamental academic disciplines.
• The philosophy of Covenant Church is that students should be integrated into the adult teaching ministry of the church. Therefore, this class will serve as a bridge to the adult Sunday School classes by:
• informing students that Sunday School is a central part of the teaching ministry of the church and that we desire students to participate in it;
• communicating a vision for church life that includes fellowship with families and other students committed to the fellowship of Covenant Church.
• helping students establish a pattern of Sunday School attendance that should persist beyond the fall quarter class.
