Religion
The goal of the Religion Department is to provide an opportunity for students to gain a better understanding of God through the study of the Scriptures. GBA wants to encourage students to explore questions about theology and a relationship with Christ through personal study and corporate discussion. Primary emphasis is placed upon study of the Bible. Additional readings will include the writings of early church leaders, medieval church reformers and pioneers.

Following will be a survey of the Synoptic Gospels revealing the ultimate fulfillment of both Covenant and Law through Jesus Christ.
