The Mission Program (Grades 9-12)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Enlightium’s Mission Program offers foundations for ministry, including critical reasoning skills, for students considering or preparing to serve the church and wider society through the message of reconciliation, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Registration for the Mission Program for the 2024-2025 school year is closed.

Enlightium’s Mission Program provides students with an opportunity to grow in the knowledge of the gospel and develop invaluable skills for living out their Christian faith vibrantly in today’s world.
The program provides live instruction from one of our trained specialists in biblical and theological studies.
The content of the program is centered upon:
- The person of Jesus
- The meaning of the gospel
- Biblical interpretation
- Apologetics (Defending the faith)
- Systematic Theology
- Life application
The program’s content is ordered in three parts:
- The meaning of the gospel, discipleship, and evangelism
- The basic tools of biblical interpretation and reasoning for the faith (apologetics)
- The critical thinking skills of systematic theology for engaging today’s world with the gospel and biblical truth
The Bible is the primary source of content for this program.

The Mission Program is designed to work alongside your student’s learning at Enlightium. The program’s content and live instruction serve to maximize your student’s overall spiritual development without adding more weight to their academic schedule.
Students get the chance to review lesson questions with the program coordinator in order to grasp the content and move forward with success.
Each semester will have 4–6 lessons spread over the whole semester, and each lesson can be completed at the student’s convenience.
The program is certificate-based and not credit-based, meaning it will not show on a transcript.
Students who complete the first two courses of the program will receive a certificate of completion, which will serve as a reminder of Christ and His mission as well as a reference for future ministry endeavors. Students who complete the last two courses of the program will receive an additional certificate of completion. There are four courses total, typically taken as one course per year starting in 9th grade. However, the course layout can be adjusted upon approval from the program coordinator.

Examples of what Mission Program students learn include a complete articulation of the gospel, the importance of discipleship and the church, biblical interpretation skills, apologetical methods, and systematic theology with life application.
Watch two lessons from previous school years to see if the Mission Program will be a good fit for your student:
