GRAND JUNCTION CLASSES:

“Finding Truth: Developing a Thoughtful Biblical Approach to Worldviews”

AOI’s Scott Mauser helps young people develop skills of inquiry and critical thinking so they can evaluate varying “truth” claims vs. reality. Students will encounter a spectrum of worldviews, ask the tough questions, and discover how the Biblical worldview answers them. There will be a strong emphasis on questions raised by evolutionary naturalism and atheism. (Contact ScottMauser@discovercreation.org for syllabus and more info.)

For Grades 7-8 (Great for Homeschoolers!)
Weekly Fall 2025 – Spring 2026: Tue & Thu, 2:00 – 3:30 pm
Starts Aug 19 (Catch-up sessions by appt.)

“Pursuing and Defending a Confident Faith!”

This class taught by Scott Mauser is designed to equip Christians to answer challenges confronting their faith in the marketplace of ideas. Students will wrestle with difficult questions with the goal of developing a confident understanding about how the Biblical worldview matches reality and how to share it with others. There will be a strong emphasis on questions raised by evolutionary naturalism and atheism. It will be an intense ride, but one that is so desperately needed for today’s confused culture! (Contact ScottMauser@discovercreation.org for syllabus and more info.)

Weekly Fall 2025 – Spring 2026: Wed 3:00 – 5:00 pm
