Mission and Ministry
Program Intro

Where and how in our cultural context is God calling us to serve?

The mission of the global church is cross-cultural, making it vital that those engaged in a missional calling have a deep understanding of holistic gospel theology and a discerning grasp of our own cultural contexts. Redeemer’s Mission and Ministry program equips you with a biblical understanding of missions and a worldview perspective on culture and society, preparing you to serve and embody God’s Kingdom wherever you are called.

Mission and Ministry is a Bachelor of Arts degree program. It is offered as an honours major (through the completion of one of the Urban Ministry, Youth Ministry or general ministry emphases), as a major and as a minor.

Quick Links

First-year courses provide a broad overview of topics that are critical to mission, ministry and Christian faith, including a foundational understanding of the Bible. Gain an awareness, as well as the necessary tools, to serve effectively in churches, ministries and community organizations. Class discussions, led by dedicated and experienced professors, give the opportunity to understand worldview from the perspective of other denominational and cultural backgrounds.

Mission and Ministry The Core

The Core Curriculum is a set of 10 courses that every student takes. The courses are woven through every major and get you to think deeply and broadly about what you’re studying. Think about it this way…

  • Pastors provide better care when they understand the diverse stories and histories of people.
  • Theologians can share their perspectives more persuasively when they know how to write well.
  • Ministry directors who are financially literate can create and lead sustainable ministries.
