Northside Christian Academy: Spiritual Growth And Development

497 Words2 Pages

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 …show more content…

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

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)

Education is used for students to seek out answers to world questions of what is happening around them.

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

(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.

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

Moral development can be promoted through studying ethical issues (QCA, 2004), getting the children to think about what they believe is ‘right’ and what different religions teach us to be the ‘right’ choice. Children may also explore morals and truth, justice and trust (QCA, 2004) within the classroom through studying parables from the Christian Bible. An example of this may be looking at the Parable of the Unjust Judge (Luke 18:1-8), getting the children to think about what it tells them about justice and if they can think of any occasions where they may have felt justice prevailed. Spiritual and cultural awareness is built upon throughout religious education because, as mentioned before, it is one of the main aims of the subject and is developed through exploring the religions required for study in AT1. Social development can occur as a personal skill within religious education through the discussion of opinions or beliefs with peers.

Partnership is important in all aspects of life. Christianity was never designed to be always individualistic. While people have their own faith in God and beliefs within the Christianity community, it is impossible to live out a Christ-led journey without the corporal aspect of the Christian journey. As the English poet John Donne stated, “no man is an island” means that no one can live life without people. Our main existence is through the kindness and love of other people, despite God not being physically with us.

To avoid the pitfalls of a Christian-centered educational system, I would teach a “world religions” class, not unlike what I had learned in a collegiate educational environment. In fact, it was a basic course requirement to take a religious course, which could expose the individual to a wide range of belief systems. This could also be accomplished within the high school educational system, which could defer criticism of Christianity being the dominant religion to be taught in a course of this kind. Religious education, therefore, would demand that students learn a variety of religions through a pluralistic format, so that the there is no preferential treatment for any single religion. Historically, this would alleviate fears of a Christian focus becoming the dominant source of educational policy.
