“A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.” Theodore Roosevelt

OVERVIEW 

Students develop their understanding that God is trustworthy, and His promises are for all who trust and follow Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. They continue to learn about Bible history from creation to God’s ultimate purpose for humanity. Students are introduced to key biblical concepts and themes, allowing students to explore the Christian faith and see how it is relevant today. They discover and explore who Jesus is, focusing on different events in His life which show God’s power at work. Students are also encouraged to discover for themselves what the Bible says about the contemporary problems people face in today’s world. This subject aims to build students’ understanding of God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, their peers, their own identity in relation to the world around them.
