The Big Questions of Life include Who am I? Why am I here? Who is God? What plan does He have? By answering these fundamental questions in a biblical way, we can build the strongest foundation in the hearts and minds of students. This will inform them of their greater purpose than simply to get good grades, to attend a quality university, to have a successful career, making oodles of money, receiving accolades from man. As image bearers of our Creator God, we are commissioned with His purpose to use the gifts He gave us to build His eternal Kingdom.

It helps me see the students as more than children filling seats… it helps me to see them as made in the image of God and the fact that I am also instructing them to be stewards of God’s Creation.

That time should be used to be sure their hearts are ready for eternity and for those that already know Christ to teach them the importance of where our treasure lies and how to lay up treasures in heaven not on earth.
