Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

This program is built from blocks called "modules." All the major themes are studied in clusters - each module contains several courses and typically contains only one exam or paper. It is these modules that are graded, not the courses.

Since the ministry and mission orientation is crucial to the entire program, the core modules focus on the areas of Mission Issues and Practices, Church and Society, Church Dynamics, in addition to the more classic fields of Biblical Studies and Exegesis, Systematic Theology, and Church History.

Various electives allow for specializations according to student's areas of interest or their individual requirements in ministry.

Each semester a variety of alternating electives is offered, such as Youth Ministry, other areas of Practical Theology, Empirical Methods, and specialized research.

The Pastorial Ministry programme is offered by Friedensau Adventist University.
