COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (WordNews.org) Feb. 16, 2021 — The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Axis announced today that the two entities have entered into a partnership to provide relevant tools to educators and parents designed to help them stay current with rapidly changing cultural trends impacting youth.

Based in Colorado Springs, Colo., ACSI is focused on strengthening Christian schools and equipping Christian educators worldwide as they prepare students academically and inspire them to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ. ACSI serves more than 25,000 schools in 108 countries, providing support functions for Christian schools through multiple services including teacher and administrator certification, school accreditation, legal/legislative assistance and curriculum publishing.

Axis is focused on engaging with teens, studying culture and bringing a biblical worldview into the conversations that parents have with their kids. Axis works to see all caring adults equipped with the conversation, discipleship and culture translation skills needed to reach the next generation for Christ. Through membership, individuals gain access to a rich library of written, audio and video resources designed to prepare parents to communicate well with their children, ultimately guiding them into a lifelong relationship with Jesus.

As a result of the partnership, ACSI schools will receive a 20 percent off discount for a one-year Axis membership.

The partnership represents the latest ACSI initiative designed to help schools to flourish. ACSI research indicates a “flourishing” Christian school is a community of students, educators and families that glorifies Christ and excels in knowing Him and making Him known.

“The purpose of this partnership is to equip educators and parents by keeping them apprised of current culture so they can have timely, Christ-centered conversations with their children,” said Dr. Larry Taylor, ACSI president.

Leaders from both ministries share a passion for discipling and training young servant leaders for Christ. Leaders from both ministries said they see tremendous relevancy in the partnership.

David Eaton, Axis president and cofounder, believes this offering will help individuals better understand culture from a biblical worldview.

“Axis is thrilled to offer this opportunity to ACSI members,” he said. “These materials can be used by adults to stay informed about what their children are listening to, watching, or hearing from their friends.”

Axis is known for creating Christ-centered resources from great thinkers like C.S. Lewis, while keeping a pulse on relevant shifts in culture.

Membership grants users entry to an expansive library of relevant materials and access to a team of Gospel-focused researchers standing by to answer any questions.

Ultimately, both ministries believe the initiative provides tools to help adults and children cope with the dizzying, seismic cultural shifts they face.

“In this rapidly changing culture, it has never been more imperative that educators and parents reach the next generation for Christ,” Taylor said. “We believe this offering will prepare them not only to have important discussions with their children, but also to spur them on in their lifelong relationship with the Lord.”
