Course Description: Students will explore the government of the United States from its beginning to the present. Emphasis will be placed on the Biblical pattern for government and on the United States Constitution. We will learn about the operations of federal, state, and local government, and about issues we face today. Students will be provided with a deeper ability to understand, pray for, and be involved in our country’s government. Students will learn basic economic vocabulary while gaining an understanding of how society uses its resources to satisfy its wants and needs.  Students will be equipped with personal and general financial skills. They will become a better steward of the money God provides and a valuable, informed contributor to society on many levels. We will use an eclectic combination of materials for the economics portion of the class.
