CLASS GOALS:

Foundations of a Worldview
The Wheaton Passage will help students identify the core questions that comprise a Christian worldview. Furthermore, the program will introduce students to the process of answering these questions as they move through the Wheaton Experience:
     a. Who is God?
     b. What is truth and how do we understand it?
     c. Who am I and who does God want me to be?
     d. What is our life in community, relationships and the church?
     e. How should we live in relation to money, the needs of the world, and God’s kingdom priorities?

Community
The Christian life is about community, the body of Christ. The goal is for students to learn to develop a positive living-learning community characterized by a balance of accountability and affirmation, challenge and support. This will happen through participation in a small group experience including a wilderness trip (Wilderness Track participants only) ropes course, group development initiatives, service projects, and just plain fun. This small group will provide the context for much of the learning related to the foundations of the spiritual life and building a Christian worldview. Crucial to small group experience is building a relationship with a capable guide. A HoneyRock staff member and Wheaton faculty member will team up to lead this experience.

Spiritual Formation
Students will begin to understand the nature of the inner life and the impact of their life events on the nurture and development of their soul. Key to this understanding is experiencing the fullness of God’s grace and love. Students will be exposed to a variety of formational practices that will enhance their devotional life, relationship with God and their involvement in the Church.

Service
The Christian life is characterized by a call to be others-oriented and committed to serving God’s purposes in the world. Students will be challenged experientially to meet the needs of others and to work hard at putting others before themselves. They will also learn the value of teamwork, responsibility and stewardship.

FALL SEMESTER:

In addition to the program at HoneyRock, students will gather for two sessions over the fall semester with their faculty member. This time is designed to help students transfer their learning into the context of life at Wheaton. Faculty members will help students process through transitional issues that often arise during the first semester.
