Courses of Study

This course is designed to introduce the student to the spiritual life at Concordia Prep. The objective is to build community among the class members as they are introduced to a broad spectrum of religious topics, including a brief overview of the Old and New Testaments and basic Christian doctrines. The course should prepare all students, regardless of their religious backgrounds, for the topics they will encounter in the years that follow.

Religion 11/12

Working through such topics as bio-ethics, church history, world religions, denominations, cults, and creation and evolution the students will grow in faith and courage to make a meaningful witness of their faith.
