B.Th in Mission

Learn about mission while engaging in mission:
Our B.Th in Mission explores cutting edge missional thinking while you are engaged in mission and ministry.

How the Course Works

In order to create a new mindset for mission the course uses a creative interplay between personal learning packs, student learning groups, written assignments, placement tasks and coaching support.

  • Learning Packs: Students are supplied with all the materials that are needed in learning packs. They use the packs to prepare for participation in a local Learning Centre.
  • Student Groups: An exploration of the learning packs either happens once a week or at a series of tutorials at a local Learning Centre.
  • Assignments: Each module has a practical written assignment that contributes 70% of a module’s final assessment. Written class presentations are sometimes used for grading purposes along with the essay.
  • Placement Tasks: Each module also provides students with placement tasks to be fulfilled in a ministry context.
  • Regular Coaching: Students meet a coach weekly for general support. Three times a term individual progression with placement tasks are assessed. Work place assessment, including an electronic journal, contributes to the remaining 30% of the assessment in each module.
