Global Engagement

The Global Engagement major produces graduates who integrate the pursuit of truth with godly character pertinent to professionally communicating the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people of other cultures, and establishing faith communities. The major contributes to an understanding of cross-cultural principles drawn from cultural anthropology and missiology, competence in the application of skills and knowledge in a specific cultural context, and comprehension of the history, theology, and strategy of Christian missions. Students use this knowledge to develop a personalized plan for language acquisition, cross-cultural ministry competence, and growth in their understanding and application of biblical principles to daily life and the discipling of others.
