One Day Academy

Process/Purpose

Students will dive into the book of Psalms.  We will cover life lessons such as being satisfied with God's love, having a thankful heart, and finding joy in the Lord. (Geared for students 11-14)

“Who am I?” This is a question many teen girls ask. The answer lies with the One who created us. Come learn who God is and understand His story through the first semester using Seamless by Angie Smith. Then learn about who your Creator says you are in the second semester through Defined by Priscilla Shirer. This hour long class consists of discussion, videos, activities, and one end of semester project.

In this Bible study for teen girls, we’ll explore what it means to live with courage, faith, and

purpose by studying the lives of women in Scripture. Using Esther by Kelly Minter and Jesus

and Women by Kristi McLelland, we’ll see how God works powerfully through women. This

study will help girls:

        ● See how faith and courage play out in real-life situations

        ● Recognize how Jesus treats women with dignity, compassion, and purpose

        ● Grow in confidence to live boldly for God in everyday life

This hour-long class includes discussion, video teaching, interactive activities, and a meaningful

end-of-semester project, all designed to help teen girls grow in faith, confidence, and

understanding of who they are in Christ.

Process/Purpose

• To study the book of Daniel with an eye for preparing students to successfully walk with God through a life in which non believers and godless patterns of behavior often times heavily influence the cultures in which we live.

• To better understand God’s vision of greatness: helpful love and service – not selfish ambition.

• To understand that it is possible to be both godly and successful in this life.

• To notice that Daniel was more successful than his peers precisely because of his relationship with God.

• To notice Daniel’s trust in God’s word as a reliable source of knowledge that is pertinent to real life: to recognize that faith and science don’t exclude one another, but that God’s word is the first and most reliable authority.

• Also to understand that through our relationship with God and through humility, anyone can live out greatness in God’s Kingdom, that nobody is disqualified.

• To understand God’s love for mankind as those created in His image, and to understand His heart to be reconciled to mankind.

• To notice that through seasons of brokenness, God restores people to the greatness for which He created us all.

Purpose:

The purpose of this course is the personal, spiritual, and emotional development of the students as believers and active participants in a wide variety of communities.  They will wrestle with who they are and how God has gifted them as they move toward adulthood and finding their role in the work of bringing the Kingdom of God to earth.  They will learn from the Bible and from authors who have demonstrated an understanding of people and communities, and how God uses each of them for His purposes.
