We as Saints have a higher law of education. Our current education has separated religion from academic subjects. This is a godless view of the world and leads to confusion, depression and apostate attitudes.

The evangelical world has added God back into learning. This has brought great results and strengthen hearts and families. We call that a Reformation Education.

Through the Restoration God has given us much new restored information and has asked us to use this type of learning, it is a higher way. Restoration Education is learning with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.
