The Christian Faith is anchored on the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, whose incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection forever changed the world. Between the years 100 and 500 C.E. those who believed in him grew from a small persecuted minority to a strong aggressive movement reaching far beyond the bounds of the Roman empire. The roots produced in this era gave us our canon (the Scriptures), our worship, and our conviction (the major creed is the Church, and the central tenets of the Faith, especially regarding the doctrine of the Trinity and Christ).

Capstone was created to help you equip your students to understand, embrace, and defend our shared common faith, i.e., our Sacred Roots. Once understood and embodied, then we can train them to defend and contextualize our common faith in their churches and ministries. Capstone can enable our students to ground new believers in this essential biblical story of their new-found faith, and show them how to instruct maturing Christians to deepen their faith on the solid foundation that Christ's story represents. Our desire is for you as Site Coordinator and Mentor to learn to show your students how they can benefit from hearing the story of Jesus told over and over again in the context of both private devotion and public worship. As you have treasured Christ and his salvation story for years, may he continue to transform you through it, deepening your own walk and revealing how you may fall in love with him afresh as you both retell and remember the Greatest Story ever told.
