Our communities and Northside Christian Academy (NCA) need to recognize the important role education plays in the spiritual growth and development of individuals in order to see a spiritual awakening. Through education, individuals can learn about God, His will for their lives, and how to live in accordance with it. In order to develop an education system that emphasizes spiritual development and growth, it is critical to emphasize spiritual growth.
A primary means of encouraging spiritual growth is through prayer and worship. Prayer provides a means for people to connect with God and seek His guidance. A worship service provides a space in which people can express their love for God and deepen their relationship with Him. NCA and the wider

Educators must create an environment that promotes spiritual growth, fosters a love for God, and develops a biblical worldview. This can be achieved through the integration of biblical principles into the curriculum, teaching students how to apply these principles to their lives, and encouraging them to pursue a personal relationship with God.
Moreover, it is essential to cultivate a culture of evangelism and discipleship. Educators must provide students with the tools and resources they need to share their faith with others and to disciple others in the faith. This can be achieved through mentorship programs, small group Bible studies, and outreach initiatives.
Finally, unity in the Body of Christ is essential to spiritual growth and development. Educators must teach students to value unity, regardless of their differences. This can be achieved through emphasizing the importance of loving one another, respecting one another's differences, and working together towards a common goal. Additionally, educators must encourage students to develop relationships with other Christians in their community, fostering a sense of community and encouraging them to work together toward spiritual growth and

Media Specialist: Internship at Grand Avenue Baptist Grand Avenue Baptist Grand Avenue Baptist has been on the corner of Grand Avenue and North 39th street for over eighty years. Since September 9th, 1934, its mission has been to witness to the River Valley that Jesus is the son of God, provide a place for Christians to grow, and serve the community through partnerships and programs. In the decades that have passed since its beginning, the church has grown from a staked down tent and a tiny congregation of a mere five people into one of the staple churches of the Fort Smith area. Grand Avenue now boasts a congregation of several thousand and has a thriving ministry programs for all ages and stages of life including family, singles, and collegiate
Arizona Christian University (ACU) is a private 4-year institution that is devoted to creating leaders who can produce an impact on the world with the gospel (God’s word). Len Munsil, the President of ACU and author of the book “Transforming Culture with Truth”, mentions in his book that “we have forgotten who we are.” (Munsil 2) Which leads to the question, who are we supposed to be? ACU’s mission is “to provide a biblically integrated education that prepares its graduates to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in ministries and professional occupations.” (Munsil 50)
Learning to love and serve God should continue throughout your life, so the church offers vital support for followers of all ages.
Since more cultures are crossing geographical boundaries, it seems that it would be much easier to be a servant for Christ. Elmer says, the “focus is relational
(Werteimer 3). Children should be learning about the population and diversity. A lot of students are not informed about their own faith. As a CCD teacher I can see a significant amount of students who have stopped coming. It is very sad because religion is starting to become the last priority.
With the school’s student body being so close to the school it causes a more diverse church setting. But with the school being so diverse it’s hard to know your students and their preferences because it’s so many different cultures to try to adapt

Education is used for students to seek out answers to world questions of what is happening around them. Without having the Christian knowledge how can they have an compete look at the world and what is happening. They don’t have all the answers needed to make informed decisions in life. Pearcey talks how our creation, our fall, and how we need to redeem ourselves are universal God’s

One can still accomplish this by understanding the Christian world view by seeing that every human is unique and created in the image of God. Walsh and Middleton state, “Yet we are different from the heavens and the winds, as well as from the plants and the animals, and we sense this difference. We are God’s servants, but the nature of our service is unique” (p. 52). This reading made me realize how different we all are, and it’ okay to be different from one another. God’s unique characteristic granted to every human allows new ideas to be crossed and
The spiritual atmosphere is of the most importance when considering a new place to live, a new school to attend, and a new church family. Moving from the modestly liberal state of Virginia to Madison, Alabama, it made the search for a strong spiritual environment very easily accessible. From attending private school, to choosing a new congregation at which to attend, my parents have made the best decision. Church family is very important in a person’s spiritual walk. If one has a strong church family, he or she will be able to rely on the group of
I believe that one of the reasons I am so drawn to the liturgy and its expression in worship is that I lacked it for so long. The church in which I grew up would sing a few hymns, the sermon was three points and a prayer, and once a quarter we would have the Lord’s Supper. Hymns were tracked by the music office so that the congregation didn’t become bored by redundancy. To go from that worship style to, what appeared to me at the time to be, grandiose, intentional redundancy was jarring. So, I needed to begin my investigations into why someone would worship this
3. How will you pass on the information you have learned in this course to those within your circle of influence? (approximately 200 words) Throughout the past year, I have been fortunate enough to have been exposed to a vast array of knowledge and perspectives surrounding the Gospel and the Kingdom of God. In addition to my own personal studies, my friend group has recently produced a film on the topic of discipleship, titled I See Nations, which focuses on the Great Commission and the imperative for all believers to engage in discipleship.
