9th grade: Teens are reintroduced to the basics of the Christian faith through the exploration of the big questions of faith:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why did Jesus die?
- What is faith?
- What is prayer and how do I pray?
- Why should I and How do I read the Bible?
- Who is the Holy Spirit and what does he do?
- What does it mean to be "filled" with the Holy Spirit?
- How can I make the most of the rest of my life?
- What does it mean to have new life in Christ?
- What is evil and how do I resist it?
- Does God still heal today?
