Religion and Social Studies
FVL's Religion and Social Studies Departments share the south hallway of the upper campus.
Religion
Religion classes offer the opportunity to focus on God's promises and find comfort in the forgiveness we have through Jesus. Our prayer is that our students will increase in their knowledge of Scripture and understanding for faith and life. The focus is to give all students a solid foundation in the Word by teaching the history of salvation and by equipping our students with tools to preserve and share their faith.
Students have a wide range of experience in the Christian faith, and FVL offers classes to fit every level of knowledge a student may have.
