The Department fosters a community of missiological scholarship and reflective learning where students grow in biblical, theological, and real-life skills to be effective godly servants no matter their intended ministry context. Students in this department will be equipped for a variety of missions-oriented ministries both internationally and in the U.S. through field-oriented training with special focus in house church planting and multiplication-oriented strategies, cultural analysis, intercultural communication, spiritual warfare, and healing-based spiritual formation.
