Educational Values

• Our core values can be summed up in a single word—FREEDOM.
As such, our resources have an extremely high view of learners, teachers, and content.

Learners
• Learners can be trusted with Biblical truths.

• Learners are capable of studying Scripture independently, and Bible study is more meaningful when learners discover insights for themselves.

• Learners can search for answers in dialogue with each other and with guidance
from caring teachers.

Teachers
• Teachers are guides with learners searching for truth and relevance.

• Teachers know their classes and settings, and sessions should be customized accordingly.

• Teachers have different approaches to teaching and deserve options that fit different teaching styles.

Content
• The core content of our curriculum resources is the Bible. The Scriptures are at the center of our sessions.

• We value the faith experiences of Christians and promote the sharing of this wisdom in the context of Bible study.

• Aided by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we believe the church is the best setting for Bible study.

• Scripture is best understood when relevant connections are made between biblical truth and modern living.

Our Role
• We believe our role is to provide quality information and educational approaches that support and encourage learning and growth in Christian faith and church citizenship.

• It is not our role to make belief decisions for learners, teachers, or churches. We therefore celebrate a person's freedom to disagree with a session or unit.
