TOCS Faculty Engages in Biblical Integration Study

At Twin Oaks Christian School, we recognize the incredible importance of the teachers in our school community and consider them our strongest asset. Their incredible love for our students and dedication to teaching from a biblical worldview provides a strong foundation for our students. This year, our faculty and staff are diving deep into the book Beyond Biblical Integration by Roger Erdvig, to further develop their worldview and grow in their ability to immerse students in a biblical worldview throughout their whole day.

This book study with our faculty will propel us forward as a school community in living out our mission statement of glorifying God by nurturing spiritual development, academic excellence, and servant leadership in an environment where each student is known and loved. As Jeff Meyers of Summit Ministries says,

“Something exciting happens when we immerse ourselves in a biblical worldview. We realize that deep, biblical thinking is possible in every subject. We find that we can have the mind of Christ. So can our students. It will change all of us. In the past, Christians transformed science, education, the arts, healthcare, human rights, and more. It is time for a new era of innovation – and innovation starts with immersion.”

Staff will be equipped to go further than just teaching from a biblical worldview (often called biblical integration). We will be working to biblically shape the desires of our students, which will impact their actions while living in this world. While graduates of our school are too young to have a fully formed worldview, we can equip them to be aware of their own worldview and be able to process new life experiences in meaningful ways. Students will also be equipped with tools to help them navigate their growing worldview and continue developing that into their teenage years.

In addition to the ongoing monthly trainings and discussions, our faculty and staff will engage in a full-day Christian Deeper Learning workshop in February, in conjunction with this book. Please be praying for our staff as we work through these important concepts while seeking to strengthen our curriculum and programs of study at Twin Oaks Christian School in order to continue providing the best academic and faith foundation for tomorrow’s Christian leaders.
