Good Morning BCA family and friends! Yesterday we had a busy, beautiful, great day!!! Our awesome BCA Gryphon students along side a number of wonderful volunteers, teachers, and staff packed 10,000 meals for people in need!!!
(1,500 meals stayed in Bonner County!)

It was beautiful to witness Christ in the hearts and hands of our students as they helped in the entire process of boxing, labeling, bagging, and assembling the meals.

Matthew 28:16-20

The Great Commission

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

What is Christ-Centered Education?
By Eric CookOctober 31, 2024

What does Christ-centered education mean? I wrestled with this as a head of school and worked to define it so that it saturated every aspect of the school. There were three ways in which I applied what Christ-centered meant: understanding the nature of human beings, understanding knowledge, and understanding the aims of education. Here is how I approached understanding knowledge within a Christ-centered framework:
Christ-centered education means properly understanding knowledge. Solomon said, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Prov. 1:7). The starting point of knowledge is relational. It begins with a humble submission to the Lord. The relational aspect of knowledge is far-reaching. Knowledge is not simply the cognitive acquisition of information. Rather, knowing Christ is a prerequisite for properly understanding Truth and the nature of things. The apostle Paul expresses this in Ephesians when he states that the Gentiles, who had rejected Christ, became “futile in their thinking” and “darkened in their understanding” (Eph. 4:17-18). In contrast, the Scriptures teach that when one submits themselves in reverence and fear to the Lord, they are enlightened with understanding and wisdom; they know Truth in the person of Christ (Col. 1). It is our aim to cultivate that disposition of honor in our students so that they live wisely and demonstrate true knowledge (Jn. 17:3).
The Christian understanding of knowledge also implies that all truth is an integrated whole. Therefore, subjects are not compartmentalized or isolated from one another. Rather, we strive to see all of reality through the perspective of God’s sovereignty and providence over all things. Christ is the Logos, the unifying and synthesizing truth in the diversity of human experience (Jn. 1). He is the centerpiece of history, the Creator of the universe, the Redeemer of mankind, and the Sustainer of all things. He speaks through all of creation to teach us who He is so that we may glorify Him in all things. Indeed, the essence of all life is knowing Him (Jn. 17:3).
Of course, there is far more to this idea than what is stated here, but the epistemological implications of a Christian commitment to knowledge are far-reaching. The topic deserves careful attention, articulation, and ongoing conversation. So much good work has been done in this area among classical Christian educators. I am very thankful for the depth and richness of our model that addresses theological issues like this in ways that are often assumed, but never clearly stated. Forming students to be wise and virtuous is contingent upon an understanding of the nature of knowledge, truth, and wisdom as it is incarnated in our Lord.
