Course Description

This project-based course is designed to motivate students to want the fullness of life God has designed for us in our total person. It strives to give some tools to enable this to happen and prevent the death and misery associated with the main causes of death, disease and dysfunction in America in the 21st century. Health analyzes many decisions that affect the whole person from the mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual aspects of our being. We see life on earth as inextricably woven into our relationship to our all-wise, almighty, sovereign, creator God and His plan for us as His own.
