Global Engagement - Toccoa Falls College | The Christian College of Georgia

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.

“This program helped open my eyes to the world right before me. It taught me interpersonal skills, language acquisition, how to be aware of different cultures and how to embrace those differences, and how to effectively communicate the Gospel. In this program I learned how to be a researcher, an ethnographer, a listener, an effective church planter, and so much more! Most importantly, I learned how to be a learner. You can’t be effective among others if you are not a learner, because it isn't until you put yourselves in others' shoes that you will best serve them. I saw examples of this embodied in the professors, who cared for my well-being and not just my GPA. They explained the relevancy of each lesson, shared their experiences, poured into students' lives, and were intentional about getting to know each and every student. I am so thankful for their impact on this program!”
