What you’ll learn
Mission begins with God. From the calling of Abraham to the sending of the Church, Scripture tells the story of a God who reaches out in love and invites his people to join in his work. This course explores mission in word and deed, in our neighbourhoods and across cultures, and considers how the local church participates in God’s wider mission. With a gentle Wesleyan emphasis on grace at work before us, around us and through us, it encourages us to see mission not simply as an activity, but as part of the life of every disciple and every church.
