The mission of the Department of History, Government and 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.
It is our hope that as you explore our website that you will learn about our very diverse faculty and curriculum. We come from all over the world: some of us were born in the U.S., while others were born in Japan, Kenya, and Algeria. Each of our faculty has had exceptional academic training, life and teaching experience. More importantly, each of us seeks to humbly walk with our God by mentoring our students in a way that models what it means to be a Christian.
