41G Christian Studies: Anabaptist History and Theology

In our Christian Studies program, we remain grounded in our Anabaptist principles, working with students as their faith develops and grows throughout their time at Westgate. In all of our courses we focus on developing Biblical literacy and spiritual reflection. We recognize and welcome the many different Christian traditions in our school, as well as other faiths and perspectives. It is our hope that through the progression in these courses our students acquire a strong academic and spiritual foundation for their beliefs and understand the beliefs of others in their community.

The grade 12 course studies basic Anabaptist theology and then uses Mennonite History to examine the attempts of Mennonites to apply their theology to life. The historical focus of the course is mainly on the Russian Mennonite tradition where Westgate’s roots lie. However, questions raised should be applicable to all students.
