Degree Program Highlights
The Mission Studies program is a humanities-based interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree program preparing students to go individually and with a team to share the gospel and make disciples of all nations. The courses help students focus on living in another culture in order to be an incarnational witness.
Discovering new ways to share the gospel in home and host cultures among a wide variety of people groups and languages will be one of the most important tasks of the church until Christ returns. Mission Studies not only helps students have a biblical understanding of making disciples but also introduces new and innovative ways for making disciples that make disciples in a variety of cultures. From the time of the New Testament, believers have taken the Gospel to places where people have never heard the name of Jesus. Research shows us that prepared missionaries not only stay on the field longer but also have more meaningful ministries.
