General Course Info Teacher: Brother Steve Kendall Email: [email protected] Phone: (530) 324-2533 Class/Ofce Location: Basement level Ofce Hours: Sundays, before, or after class and by appointment. Class Website: ChurchSchoolisCool.com Course Description Students will learn about the Bible through research and creative projects including art, dance, music, poetry, video/Web production and theater. Projects will be used toward building a year-long portfolio. Each student will hopefully plan and create projects that also reect their career goals. On every other fourth Sunday, students will exhibit, or perform their projects as an outreach effort.

Other speakers will be derived from our team of MMBC experts/teachers in areas such art, dance, music and theater. Course Goals The overall goal of this course is to provide a joy of Christ through the study of major Bible stories and concepts. It is our prayer that lessons will be taught in a creative fashion toward fostering a life-long love of Bible study and learning in general. Although this is a class for high school students, the content and presentation is structured much like an introductory level college course in an effort to prepare students for life after high school. Course Objectives Students who regularly attend this course will learn about: * Major Bible stories and concepts * The birth, life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ * How one can research, prepare and present lessons * How to apply Bible history to modern day issues and problems * What/why we believe, and why we do certain things in church * Ways to share the Gospel message with peers and strangers Expectations Be...On Time
