Quick answer

A Christian worldview is a way of understanding reality, identity, knowledge, morality and purpose through the truth of the Bible and the person of Jesus Christ.

Definition

What does worldview mean?

A worldview is the network of beliefs and assumptions through which a person interprets the world and decides what is true, good and meaningful.

Why it matters

Why this matters for parents

Students encounter many competing ideas through curriculum, culture, media and relationships. They need both knowledge and discernment to engage thoughtfully rather than react fearfully or uncritically.

Covenant's Approach

In school life
