About Us

Since the fall of 2004, tutorial classes for high school students have been offered at Abundant Life Church by the Schaeffer Study Center. The focus of the Study Center curriculum is on equipping high school students with basic biblical knowledge, an understanding of the Christian world-view and an integrated study of the literature, history, and art of western civilization. The tutors at the Study Center include Rob & Cyndy Shearer, Kevin & Karen Brummett, Deb Pennebaker, Missi Shearer, Jennifer Pickens, Tim Farris and Tom Hilpert.

Tutorial classes meet on Wednesdays at Abundant Life Church, 1000 Woodridge Drive, Mt. Juliet, TN. The academic year runs for 32 weeks beginning in mid August and ending in May. The core program is built around an integrated chronogical study of Western Civilization beginning with the ancient world in 9th grade and finishing with the 20th century in 12th grade. The core courses for each high school grade are History, Literature, Art History and Bible. In addition, SSC also offers courses in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Painting, Drawing, Drama and Chorus.
