| Description:
This course offers a
comprehensive study of American government, civic responsibility, and the
foundational principles of democracy through the lens of Christian values.
Students will explore the structure and functions of federal, state, and
local governments, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the roles of
citizens in shaping a just and moral society. Emphasis will be placed on
understanding civic duties such as voting, public service, and community
engagement, while examining how Christian principles—such as justice,
stewardship, and servant leadership—inform responsible citizenship.
Through historical case studies, contemporary issues, and biblical
connections, students will be equipped to thoughtfully engage with society
and make a positive impact as Christ-centered leaders.
