Mission
The mission of the Department of History, Government, & Social Science is to foster a community of learners, who, as lovers of truth study history, political science, and geography. In recognition of both the dignity and depravity of humankind, our aim is to develop insight into past and present civilizations based upon our acknowledgement of God’s providence, the dependability of His promises, and His redemptive purpose on earth. Through the rigors of our disciplines, we prepare our students to influence and transform the world for Jesus Christ through their lives and vocations in obedience to the Greatest Commandment and the Great Commission.
