Goal
Foundational courses are designed to provoke a student toward a careful analysis, understanding and appreciation of the Bible in its historical context and in the practical application of the spiritual principles and precepts contained therein as they apply to the Christian lifestyle. Such a course of study does not merely exist for increasing knowledge and understanding, but to point the students toward He who is all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. For, it is our hope that these students would flourish in their relationship with God and thereby discover His divine purposes in all that they do. The objectives for these courses of study are as follows:
