SCS Course Title: Spanish 1-2
Biblical Christian Foundation:
Foreign Language: All language is a gift from God and the ability to learn to speak, think and write in other languages is a gift from Him that can be
used to further the Kingdom of God. As all people bear the image of God, the study of other languages can foster the appreciation of the diversity
found in the body of Christ, as well as equip us to take the gospel to all nations.
