New CP ACE Courses

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible!" Those were the not-so-visionary words of the British Royal Society's Lord Kelvin...in 1895.

That was before the airplane. The Internet. The Ziploc bag. Air conditioning. The iPod. Turns out that Lord Kelvin was just a wee bit off in his prediction.

Our world changes quickly. New ideas emerge daily, and we're used to seeing companies like Instagram and Netflix rise to fame (or fall flat) nearly overnight. 

  

Change is Everywhere

Neighborhoods that were once filled with church-going people are now called home by a growing number of Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, naturalists, and agnostics. Today, our churches are more consistently challenged by myriads of divergent worldviews than they were fifty years ago. Truth is constantly debated and contested, argued about and fought over.

We can't prevent change, but we can plan for it. How are you preparing for change? More importantly, how will you translate what you believe into our 21st century world?

 Prepare Now for Change
Here's a brief synopsis of each course.

• Comparative Worldviews unpacks the different beliefs roaming around in our changing culture. John Stonestreet is an engaging, dynamic speaker, weaving narrative and biblical worldview together into a compelling presentation. He'll explain how to engage in truth-laden conversations with a world that looks for wisdom and hope from Buddha, Confucius, and Oprah. You'll emerge with college credit, equipped to communicate your faith in a changing world.

• Social Justice from a Biblical Perspective prepares you to effectively engage justice in your community. You'll study alongside Ryan Messmore, an Oxford PhD and researcher at the Heritage Foundation. He'll explain how biblical justice is not about wealth redistribution but about right relationships. Dr. Messmore will lead you on an exciting tour of churches around the country who are making a difference by living out their faith in their communities.

• Community Service Learning strengthens your resume while giving you steps to affect change in your own community. Dr. Freddy Cardoza has a grasp of community service that only a battle hardened veteran can. He grew up in urban housing projects before working in the inner-city and leading service groups and teaching at Biola University. He knows what works and what doesn't and draws in listeners with an engaging teaching style. 

Here's a quick preview from Comparative Worldviews.
