Many of our Bible studies focus on understanding God and learning how to live in right relationship with Him, ourselves and one another.  All of this is vital to our spiritual growth within the church as a community of believers. However, the Bible also teaches us how to live in right relationship with every aspect of God’s creation, which includes our job, neighborhood, society, culture, art, economics, education and politics just to name a few. Furthermore, the Bible helps us understand how to properly order (or re-order) the fallen world as we follow Jesus in His work of restoring all things. This is where a “biblical worldview” proves vital.

Ours is a world where the “powers and principalities” are actively working to dis-order God’s good creation in marriage, families, human sexuality, and personhood to name a few examples. As disciples of Christ called to love our neighbors, we cannot truly love them and remain indifferent to ideas and actions that do harm to people and God’s creation. The fact is, ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims. Because we care about the victims of “bad ideas,” South Quay Baptist Church is pleased to partner with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in bringing the Colson Fellows Program launching in July 2024.

The Colson Fellows Program is a transformational course that compresses a lifetime of Christian wisdom into ten months. This program will establish a solid foundation for those who are new to the study of Christian worldview, and for those who are well-versed in worldview and apologetics; you will gain new insights into today’s rapidly changing culture. Colson Fellows-in-Training go beyond understanding worldview as mere arguments and facts, and develop instead, the critical thinking skills or wisdom to discern what is or is not true, good, and beautiful in every issue that assails us today so they can understand the times and engage others thoughtfully and with grace.
