An advanced discipleship course of Calvary Christian School 

The modern Christian is constantly bombarded from every direction with ideas, worldviews, and opinions. More than ever before, much of what we hear and read is hostile toward Christian values and beliefs, yet oftentimes we are not even aware of the conflict. How can we tell which worldviews are biblical, and which aren’t? How can we understand the times in which we live? Calvary Christian School guides students through the confusion with a required class we call Worldviews.

Generally speaking, Christian young people are not prepared to face the Secular Humanist, Marxist/Leninist, New Age and Postmodernist influences in our culture. For students to become discerning and able to impact others for Christ, they must clearly understand the Biblical Christian worldview and how it compares to competing worldviews that dominate society today.

The Worldviews class utilizes the unique Understanding the Times DVD-based curriculum to bring a host of Biblical worldviews experts into the classroom to train our 11th & 12th grade students in Biblical thinking. The textbook, selected readings, projects, and challenging class discussions in concert with the pre-recorded DVD lectures strengthen their faith and train them to use Biblical truth to expose the false worldviews of our day.

In 1 Chronicles 12:32, the tiny tribe of Issachar was granted an important position of leadership in Israel because it “had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do.” Our mission as a Christian school includes preparing our students to understand the times and to know what they and their country ought to do. The CCS Worldviews class is one more proof that our mission is producing spiritually minded graduates who will influence others for Christ for a lifetime.
