This is the first of three required mission/evangelism courses for fulfillment of the M.Div. It is 3 credits, letter grade only. This course orients mission in the very heart of our missional God and as the very essence of the Church and of every local congregation. It will focus on the Triune God as a missionary God, the congregation as hermeneutic of the Gospel, and on changing paradigms of mission that influence how we do evangelism in today’s post-modern, post-Christendom, pluralistic society. Thus, evangelism and mission are grounded in a missiological ecclesiology.
