This four-credit introductory course for all incoming students will help to prepare students for their seminary experience and ministry vocations. It provides an orientation and overview of the mission of God through the ages and what it means for the church to participate in God's redemption of the world through Christ. It focuses on the Triune God as a missionary God, the worshipping community as witness to the Gospel, and all Christians as apostolic members of the body of Christ. Furthermore, it equips students with patterns and practices for nurturing a life of discipleship, intimacy with Jesus Christ, and attentive listening to the Holy Spirit that will serve to unify a life of prayer, study, and service as disciples of Christ Jesus in today's world.
