About
Our Mission & Vision
We are living in turbulent times. Nehemiah did too.
As he said, “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.”
Our mission is to “rise up and build” (Nehemiah 2: 17-18, ESV) alongside the great work already being done within Christian education by providing online courses with practical application for the next generation of Kingdom Builders.
Christian Worldview
I confess that I am a Christian who affirms, as a minimum, the Nicene Creed.
Theology of Education
“Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is, therefore, a part of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens all human faculties and creates a thirst for knowledge. Moreover, the cause of education in the Kingdom of Christ is co-ordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these the liberal support of the churches. An adequate system of Christian education is necessary to a complete spiritual program for Christ’s people. In Christian education there should be a proper balance between academic freedom and academic responsibility. Freedom in any orderly relationship of human life is always limited and never absolute. The freedom of a teacher in a Christian school, college, or seminary is limited by the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ, by the authoritative nature of the Scriptures, and by the distinct purpose for which the school exists.”
Philosophy of Education
Education is, as a minimum, the pursuit of knowledge, which frees the mind, promotes piety, fortifies one’s calling, and prepares the soul to be wise and virtuous.
As C.S. Lewis said, educators should “irrigate deserts” rather than “cut down jungles.” Education is both a tool and a path; a mountain to climb and a sight to see; a bridge to build and a legacy to bestow.
