| dc.description.abstract | This project was designed to help the elders of Anchorage Grace Church regain active spiritual oversight of Grace Christian School through doctrinal accountability and direct spiritual leadership. Chapter 1 gives the purpose, goals, ministry context, rationale, definitions, limitations and delimitations, and introduces the research methodology. Chapter 2 provides the biblical and theological basis for active elder oversight of the church entrusted to their care, and all its ministries. Chapter 3 examines other church-school settings and independent schools to gather wisdom from each. Discipleship methodologies are also examined and applied to the secondary school level. Chapter 4 is a walk-through of the project, detailing what was accomplished during each of the fifteen weeks. Chapter 5 evaluates the project's purpose, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. It also provides a reflection upon what the author would do differently, theological and personal reflections, and closes with a look to the future. | en_US |
