Learning to thrive as whole persons in relationship with God, ourselves, others, and creation. Each course in our program includes faith-formation practices and exercises to equip the whole person. Students will engage formational experiences in the curriculum that can be adapted for the communities where you will serve and lead.

Our program incorporates Cultural Intelligence or CQ, which is a globally recognized way of assessing and improving effectiveness in culturally diverse situations. It’s rooted in rigorous, academic research conducted across more than 100 countries. This is part of our commitment to Shalom and “a right ordering of relationships and actions resulting in the affirmation of human dignity and the flourishing of community. We believe that human diversity as attested to in Scripture is one expressive element of shalom and is an essential component of a Christian learning community such as ours.”
