More About ALC

Mission

Mission

Mission

Anchor Learning Center exists to make disciples of Jesus (Matthew 28:18–20) by teaching the Gospel (Romans 3:23–26) and the whole counsel of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17). We focus on foundational biblical literacy (Joshua 1:8) that leads to a transformed heart (Romans 12:1–2), produces lasting fruit (Galatians 5:22–23), and empowers students to serve others in Jesus’ name (1 Peter 4:10–11). Every class points to Christ, for His glory (Ephesians 2:8–10).

Vision

Mission

Mission

Tennessee is one of only a few states offering high-school credit for Released Time Bible Education. Our vision is to equip and resource churches, schools, and families so these classes are available to as many Tennessee students as possible—starting here in Farragut and multiplying across the state. We dream of every student having regular time during the school week to hear, understand, and live the story of Scripture.

Courses Offered

Introductory Old Testament

Students explore the big story of the Old Testament—from creation to the prophets—seeing how God’s promises unfold and point to Jesus. Emphases include God’s covenant faithfulness, key people and places, and how the line of Israel leads to Christ the Deliverer.

Introductory New Testament

Students trace the life and teachings of Jesus, the birth and growth of the early church, and core Christian beliefs presented in the Epistles. Practical application helps teens follow Jesus in everyday life.
