How Parents Established Foundations for Biblical Worldview Development in Elementary-Age Children Who Graduated from BW Leadership Institute

The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to explore how evangelical Christian parents established foundations for biblical worldview development in their elementary-age children (5-10) so that a model of this process could be created. This study also examined the value of a parental organizational partnership. The participants in this study included evangelical Christian parents who possess a biblical worldview and their emerging adult children who are also evangelical Christians who maintain a biblical worldview and who graduated from Biblical Worldview Leadership Institute within the last 6 years. The theory guiding this study was Sire's (2015) three-dimensional concept of worldview. This study’s results reveal the significance of the parental role in establishing foundations for biblical worldview development in elementary-age children (5-10), highlighting the strategies, resources, and support systems that contributed to parents’ effectiveness. Additionally, this study’s results affirm the value of select parental organizational partnerships.
