WHY MISSIONS?

There are still many unreached people groups who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are called to GO! In our missions track of the Advanced Certificate in Christian Ministries, we focus on equipping and training individuals who have answered the call so that they can put into action all they have learned and GO out into the world proclaiming the good news.
