MISSIONS
This series of courses will introduce you to the biblical concept and doctrine of
Missions in its varied manifestations, scope, and the methods by which we can
carry out the command from God that we carry the gospel "unto the uttermost."
In these courses you will study the responsibility of the Local Church concerning The Great Commission and Missions, the method by which the Commission is to be carried out as well as the principle of Faith Promise Missions giving.
The first course, Missions I. The Church and Missions, is a combination of textbook and Video Lectures. The remaining two courses will be short, self-study courses. Because they are short courses utilizing self-contained textbooks, Video Lectures were deemed not necessary for their successful completion.
