Seventh Grade Bible students examine the life of Christ Jesus. In class, we primarily study the gospel of Mark. This book presents Jesus as the Man on the move in an action-packed, fast paced, amazing adventure. We learn about Jesus and the relationship he desires to have with us. We are encouraged to respond to the call of Jesus: "Follow Me!" We examine the strength He gives us during our challenges and the never-ending rewards He gives us as we obey Him. Along with the in depth study of Mark, we read and overview Matthew, Luke and John.


8th Grade

BIBLE 8

(The New International Version [NIV] is the recommended Bible Text, Emphasis: God the Holy Spirit)

"Discover the Holy Spirit!" is the emphasis of the Bible 8 curriculum. This is an exceptional life application study of the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Students discover that the Holy Spirit is a mighty helper and daily guide for their lives. Doctrinal emphasis includes the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the Christian church, evangelism and the spread of the gospel into "all the world." Life application areas include dealing with peer pressure, family life issues, and building healthy friendships. Students are encouraged to consider God's place, plan and purpose in their individual lives. Study guides and writing assignments in the form of "Family Faith Interviews" enforce parental involvement in the spiritual formation of the student. Cooperative learning teams, chapel presentations and lunch time sessions (Acts Too!) encourage practical application of the student's faith-walk. Scripture memorization and reading of other Apostolic writings of the New Testament are assigned as well.
