Christian Living
Christian Living is a mandatory course that is studied throughout K-10 at Coffs Harbour Christian Community School. Christian Living will not be recorded on the Record of School Achievement (RoSA).
Christian Living encourages and challenges students to analyse and understand the Christian worldview.
It looks at the historical and Biblical account of Jesus; the validity of God as Creator; pivotal moments in Church history; a Biblical view of spirituality; contemporary spiritual counterfeits and the personal impact of many who have chosen to follow Jesus Christ as Lord.
Through Christian Living, students are involved in Biblical research, critical thinking, problem solving and discussions of an apologetic nature. Students are also invited to consider their own personal reflections about God’s love in Jesus Christ.
