The Missional College makes intercultural training available to average, everyday Christian believers across North America and beyond. For decades this type of training has only been offered to the professional elite - those who could afford to go to a Bible college or seminary for vocational training or who received training through a mission agency prior to going to a foreign country in missionary service. Now it is available to everyone anytime, anywhere through our eCampus.
Welcome to The Missional College Welcome Center!
You may have questions about the courses and programs at The Missional College. In summary, we are focused on the preparing people to serve interculturally in the mission of God. From mission studies to anthropology and geography of religion, to ethnic and reconciliation studies to diaspora studies to world religion studies, the international faculty in our departments enable students to gain the depth of understanding needed to serve any where in the world. You may have questions! No problem! We would be glad to talk with you in a face-to-face video conference to help answer your questions.
Shared governance is a collegial ethos and inclusive process that allows all constituencies of our community to participate meaningfully in the University’s strategic and operational decisions. The operant assumption of shared governance is that each of these constituencies—faculty, administration, staff, students, trustees, and alumni—bring unique and valuable perspectives to the deliberative decision process. Shared governance signals our institutional commitment to create and follow policies and procedures that facilitate inclusive decision-making. Successful shared governance ensures that University constituencies have a voice in, and influence upon, the decisions that affect them.

The Department of World Religions has programs that lead to a Certificate in Religion, an Associate of Religion degree, a Bachelor of Religion (completion) degree, and a Master's degree in Religion. We desire to see every graduate become equipped to join God’s mission to transform people and places from all tribes, tongues and religions through Jesus Christ, as well as to mobilize others to also engage in God’s mission. God’s gracious invitation to the church is to join him in that mission of redemption -- the Department of World Religion will teach you how to understand religious peoples.
