EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
We seek to develop the ability to:
- interpret the Bible as a unique medium through which
God chooses to speak to people.
- understand the significance of the life of Jesus as
He fulfilled the role of God’s anointed one, and the
commitment to apply Jesus’ way of life to present day
situations.
- deal with ethical issues and work toward the solution of
contemporary personal and social problems in light of our
Christian faith.
