Junior High Bible class is focused on three areas, Bible knowledge, personal growth and ministering to our world. Through out the year we will look at the parts of Bible, the books and the tools we can use to find specific scripture.  We will also study Old Testament kings Saul, David and Solomon.  We will spend time looking at our world, our community, our school, our family, and ourselves to gain a better understanding of what God wants from us as individuals and how we can be better used to spread the word of God. We will also look at some of the organizations that are actively being the hands and feet of God. 

The library works to supplement the teachers classroom lessons. This goal is accomplished by the purchase of; books, DVDs, audio books, database subscription, and computers. The library computers are available for on-line research.
The library also provides other educational services such as inter-net mysteries and search brochures to help students more efficiently and effectively use the internet for research. We also have lessons to aid our students in becoming familiar with our library. APA format brochures are also available for students to correctly document their research in their projects. Lastly, we also work to provide a variety of reading genres to encourage student reading.
