Topics:

We study apologetics, how to share our faith, and why our faith is important to us.

We read The Case for Faith: Student Edition by Lee Strobel.

We also read The Case for Christ: Student Edition by Lee Strobel.

These books help us learn to defend our faith as it says to in I Peter 3:15 and II Corinthians 10:3-5.

We sing worship songs during Bible.

We discuss different "Christian living" topics and debate things, backing them up with Scripture. We learn to view things from a biblical perspective.

We learn how to find verses in the Bible that relate to certain topics and ideas, as well as verses that explain what we believe and why.

The students must know all 66 books of the Bible, in order, by the end of the school year.

Ministry:

One of our class ministries is supporting our troops. We write letters to soldiers and go on a field trip to Military Mom in Action to help pack boxes for soldiers. We also pray for people we know who are in the military.

Another ministry is helping out with the Alpha Pregnancy Care Center. It is a Christian, pro-life pregnancy center in the Capital District. We collect coins to donate to the center during the bottle drive and we go on two field trips to volunteer there.

We also adopt a refugee family during Christmas time. We make ornaments and buy presents to give them for Christmas, since they don't have much at all. We deliver these to their home and meet the family.

We have "adopted" grandparents from the Atria Shaker Assisted Living Center. several residents visit our classroom about once a month and do crafts, games, or other activities with the students. We carol at Atria Shaker for Christmas and make Christmas cards for the residents.

We make cards for Veterans' Day and give them to veterans at the VA Hospital in Albany. We do Holiday Mail for Heroes as well.

We also make get well and sympathy cards for members of the school community. We make birthday cards for faculty and staff at the school.

Along with the school, we participate in Operation Christmas Child and send gift boxes to children around the world.

We also help in the school's collection of nonperishable food items to donate to the Capital City Rescue Mission.

Bible Memory Policy:

Students memorize verses and be tested once a week on Fridays (exceptions noted in class and on the Edline calendar).

Tests will be in written form. Verses, including full (not abbreviated) references, must be memorized exactly, including spelling (using the 1984 NIV).

Grading will be the number of words missed divided by the total number of words, times 100. Words such as "and", "the", "a", "an", "of", etc. will only be one point. Spelling will count as a half of a point. Words that should be capitalized and aren't will have a half of a point taken off. In addition, words that should not be capitalized and are will also have half of a point taken off. Punctuation will be extra credit (half a point each, excluding periods).

Ex: Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

There are 8 small words (in italics) at one point each. 100-8 = 92. There are 16 regular words. 92/16= 5.75 so those words are 5.75 points each. This obviously will changed, based on the length of the verse.
