Expression: A Systematic Approach to Answering Foundational Questions of the Faith

2 High School Credits | 32 Weeks | Available for Sale Summer 2029

Expression prepares students to understand, explain, and defend their Christian faith. Through Bible study, Scripture memorization, and practical activities, students explore what the Bible teaches about foundational Christian beliefs and learn how to share those truths with others.

Rather than beginning with scientific evidence or philosophical arguments, students begin with Scripture itself. They investigate what God’s Word says about important questions of faith and learn to use the Bible when sharing the gospel or responding to questions and objections.

What Will Students Study?

Students study foundational Christian beliefs while developing skills in evangelism, apologetics, and public speaking.

  • The Bible: Explore the inspiration, authority, and interpretation of Scripture.
  • God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit: Study God’s character, the Trinity, and the work of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
  • Mankind, Sin, and Salvation: Examine God’s design for mankind, the consequences of sin, and God’s plan of salvation.
  • The Church and Last Things: Investigate the purpose of the Church and what Scripture teaches about future events.
  • Evangelism and Apologetics: Learn to share the gospel, explain biblical beliefs, and respond to questions about Christianity.
  • Speech and Communication: Develop skills in organizing ideas, speaking clearly, presenting information, and handling difficult conversations.

How Does the Course Work?

Students read selected Bible passages, memorize Scripture, and prepare explanations and responses to questions about the Christian faith.

Speech activities include sharing personal testimonies, teaching Bible passages, informative and persuasive speeches, impromptu speaking, responding to difficult questions, and presenting the gospel.

Throughout the course, students practice communicating biblical truth clearly and thoughtfully, whether speaking to an audience or having a personal conversation.
