Researcher George Barna has stated that only 9% of born again teens believe in moral absolutes. This is alarming news. How do we expect young adults to stand for truth when they leave home, if they do not believe in a moral standard? With all of the conflicting worldviews bombarding students today, especially on college campuses, it is no wonder that the numbers continue to rise. Josh McDowell says that close to 80% of young evangelical men and women do not return to the church after leaving high school. Josh also found that only 25% of Christian students can defend what they believe about God, the Bible and the resurrection of Christ.

Anchorsaway is a college-level Christian worldview educational experience targeting high school seniors and college students. The purpose is to encourage each student’s biblical and spiritual growth and to equip him/her to confidently live out their faith in every area of life. There is absolutely no doubt that an Anchorsaway student will learn not only how to build an authentic faith in Christ, but will also be encouraged to live it out. Students should also be prepared to give an answer to others as to what they believe to be true about God, Christ and the Bible.

Matthew 22:37 records Jesus’ command to: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” In this imperative, Jesus defines the holistic nature of the Christian worldview. Of primary importance to Anchorsaway is the transformation of the heart through the working of the Holy Spirit. We believe the message of God’s love and acceptance of everyone, despite current circumstances, must be constantly reinforced through the class lessons and in the small group discussions. Without a heart that is focused on Jesus Christ, the information learned from this course of study is of absolutely no value.

The goal of Anchorsaway is for students to walk passionately, think Christianly, and love others unconditionally, to the glory of God.

This is an exciting opportunity to prepare the next generation to be a light for Christ and to impact our culture to the glory of God. We believe that the war for the minds and hearts of our culture can, and will be won- one student, one family, one community at a time!
