Biblical Worldview Integration (BWI) is the process of applying God’s TRUTH, as revealed in the Bible, to every aspect of life.
In any subject in school, biblical worldview integration means making the connections between academic content and the bigger picture of the biblical worldview.

How does this happen at CCS?
Check back soon for the district-wide look! In the meantime, watch this quick clip of Mrs. Vilhauer's second grade class sharing the 2011-2012 spiritual theme...
What Biblical Worldview Integration Is Not: Integration is not “association”. Integration is not “object lessons”.
AN OBJECT LESSON:
Illustrates a “lesson” about something other than the subject matter
Usually takes the form of analogy or allegory
Is used to make spiritual lessons more memorable or meaningful
Reveals the glory of God, purpose of God, or mind of God in relation to something other than the subject matter itself
INTEGRATION:
Directly relates to the subject matter itself
Rarely uses analogy or allegory
Is used to make the subject matter itself more significant
Reveals the glory of God, purpose of God, or mind of God in relation to the subject matter itself
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. and he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or whether things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” (Colossians 1:15-20)
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
(Romans 12:2)
