SURVIVING COLLEGE WITH YOUR FAITH INTACT
Tue/Thu 9:30-10:30
Instructor: Ted Cox
Seventy percent of students leave the Christian faith as they enter college.  This is a scary statistic.  It is one we can begin to reverse if we properly equip our kids to be prepared for the all-out assault on their faith they will encounter at college.  This class will be broken into three sections: 1) Core Christian Beliefs, 2) an Overview of Major Religions that they will encounter and 3) Competing Worldviews they will likely hear from professors and administrators.  
In addition, the class will teach the students how to do good research and produce well-sourced papers.  These strategies will be critical to their academic success.  Upon completion of the class, the student will receive a writing/composition credit along with a Bible or Theology credit.  This will be an engaging and challenging class that will properly equip our kids to have full confidence in the Christian faith and be resistant to all of the competing 'philosophies' that they will encounter.  They will be able to defend their faith in a respectful and winsome manner.  More details can be found on www.tedcox.com/survive
Note: Although "Surviving College" is not a dual credit class, the course is geared to students who are taking college classes and those getting ready to go off to college. It is taught by a college professor.

"Taking dual credit courses at EE allows for a smaller, more comfortable environment for learning. EE dual credit classes have professors who incorporate Biblical principles into their daily lessons. The smaller classes allow for a one-on-one connection to the professor and allows for more open discussion of ideas. "
