Exploring Mission is a course that will help you find your place in God’s global vision.
Exploring Mission recognises that you are already living, learning and working in intercultural contexts. It’s a lived experience.
We also recognise that our world is rapidly changing and therefore intercultural mission must keep pace. An outdated approach to global mission simply will not cut it!
Everybody has a role in God’s story...

About the course
Exploring Mission is a 10 session course across two units, to help you explore how God is calling you to engage in intercultural mission. It involves engaging with a wide range of issues in theology, mission, context, culture and the Gospel.
Exploring Mission is experienced as an online learning community that gathers from around Australia and beyond, with a common heart to grow in our participation in God’s mission.
