Kingdom Education

A recent teacher training session at CCA caused me to reexamine my understanding of education from a biblical perspective. Throughout my years of teaching in Christian education, God has caused me to continually develop and refine my biblical philosophy of education. Though I disagreed with much of what our speaker shared, the teaching resulted in my new working definition of Kingdom Education.


The life-long, biblical, Christ-preeminent process of...


Building in a child the strong foundation of a biblical worldview

Equipping a child to know and bring glory to God

Interceding for a child to come to be a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ

(revised from Kingdom Education by Dr. Glen Schultz)



How thankful I am that God continues to transform my thinking through the framework of the gospel!
