Greetings!

    I am your child's Bible teacher. My name is Jared Buchanan. My wife Kayla teaches 4th grade at PLAS. We live in Goshen where I pastor Goshen Baptist Church. We are celebrating two years there. In 2010, I graduated from the Baptist College of Florida  with my bachelors and am currently completing a MA in Christian Studies at the BCF.

When deciding how to teach this year I kept one simple concept in mind, "What do I wish I had known about the Bible when I was there age?" As a result, everything we cover this year is designed to help them navigate our culture. I truly want the students to know what they believe and why they believe it. My goal is to challenge, provoke, and lead them to consider what the Bible says about life.

This nine weeks the students are learning about how the Bible was written, who wrote it, and how it was  passed down through the years. We considered questiond like, "Can we trust the Bible, is it outdated, and is it relevant today?"

Here is what they are expected to do

1. Every Friday we have a quiz covering the week's lecture notes (except on Test week)
Students who miss class must find the notes by asking a classmate or me for a copy.

2. Two tests will be administered each nine weeks with an exam at the end of the semester.

3. A project over their chosen topic is due October 8th.
 They should all have a copy of what I expect.

4. There notebook with their class notes will be turned in at the end of the nine weeks for a test grade (completion).

5. Assigned reading
 Each student is to complete the assigned reading by the end of the nine weeks for a test grade.

6. Daily classwork is assigned and graded at the end of the week (completion).



Question?
