Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

 
 

 Christian Studies is designed to give scholarly knowledge of scripture (both Old and New Testament), Israel’s history, and church history. Though primarily an academic endeavor, the class also nurtures spiritual growth and gives opportunities for prayer. Through a lens of curiosity, and grounded in the Apostle’s Creed as the meeting ground for all Christians, we learn about the God of the Bible and how He shapes and directs our lives. Christian Studies meets 1-2 times a week and is coordinated by Ms. Emily Woo with help from HSA parents. Please email ewoo@mainlineclassical.org with any questions.

Main Objectives of the Christian Studies Program:

  • To gain knowledge of redemptive history as it is taught in God’s inerrant Word (Genesis to Revelation) and is centered on Jesus Christ

  • To grow in love for God and be able to apply His truths to our lives

  • To be able to articulate the main tenets of the Christian faith

  • To foster a community where we love one another and are eager to learn

Methods for Grades K-4:

Each week we focus on a Bible story text, discovering what it teaches us about God, man, the world, and Christ, and thinking critically about how each story fits into the larger picture of God’s redemptive story. We reinforce the lessons with music/song, fun activities, Bible memorization, and prayer.
