LAUNCH

A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL OR HOMESCHOOL

Renewanation and iLumenEd Academy can equip you to launch a school that will teach children to see all of life through a biblical lens .
and church reform were inseparable allies . Neither , they believed , could succeed without the other .” 4 Martin Luther was a champion of Christian education . He states , “ When schools prosper , the church remains righteous and her doctrine pure . . . . Young pupils and students are the seed and source of the church . If we were dead , whence would come our successors . If not from the schools ? For the sake of the church , we must have and maintain Christian schools .” 5
Many Christians are uncertain why we educate a child , the purpose and goal of education , who is given the responsibility in Scripture , and how we are to accomplish the task . As a result , many Christians have unintentionally adopted an unbiblical view of education and take their educational cues from culture rather than Scripture . Pastors have an incredible opportunity to cast a biblical vision for the education of the next generation and help parents think biblically about a topic that is critically important to the evangelism and discipleship of the next generation . If you believe education matters , then it is time to prioritize it in your ministry to the next generation . ■
