Grade 9

 

Basic Bible Doctrines 

 

Philosophy Statement:  The purpose of Christian education is to equip the Christian young person with the necessary skills to succeed in life.  As such, it is necessary to provide the student with a realistic, bibliocentric view of the world around him.  Our desire is to develop in the student the mind of Christ and to equip students to think, discern, and act through Biblically-directed, Christ-centered education.  To this end, biblical truth and the teaching of a biblical worldview will be integrated in all academic disciplines, from preschool to high school.

 

Course Objective:  This course will acquaint the students to basic Bible doctrines. They will learn what doctrines are, their importance and value. They will develop scriptural support for each doctrine; God - Jesus Christ- Holy Spirit- Scripture- Salvation- End Times- Church- Creation- Nature of Man/Sin- Angels/Satan. Students will learn in harmony with the DMCS Statement of Faith. We will discuss difficult issues without indoctrinating.
