Friday, December 26, 2008/ 2:19 PM Academic Excellence in relation to Spirituality (The following is adapted from http://www.heartofgodchurch.org/AcademicExcellence.html. Michelle thought it was good for us :)) "In our church, we believe that academic excellence and spirituality are synonymous. Something is amiss if a student is on fire for Jesus, committed to church, yet doing badly in school. In fact, we teach that academic excellence and spirituality are proportionate. In other words, the more spiritual you are, the better you should be as a student. Excelling in church is a great testimony to Christians, but excelling in studies is an even greater testimony to the world. That is why in our church, youths must attain a minimum academic standard before they can serve in ministry or leadership. Our leaders need to obtain an L1R5 of 20 or below, while our youths need to have an L1R5 of 25 before they can serve in ministry. Students are also required to fulfill 20 hours of effective studying time each week. If they do not complete this study rule, they will not be allowed to attend services." |
