training for missions

We have radical ideas about training missionaries that have worked effectively for over 60 years. Content in a classroom is important, but we Bethany College of Missionsbelieve content-based learning alone doesn’t effectively prepare missionaries. The top three characteristics that set effective missionaries apart from the rest of the pack are vibrant spirituality, godly character and great social and inter-cultural skills.

Bethany College of Missions makes these outcomes a priority in order to prepare you for effective missionary service. While developing these characteristics, you will be immersed in excellent Biblical and theological studies. Rather than examining case studies in a sterilized classroom, you will learn cross-cultural field realities by actually going overseas.

Whether you’re looking to start small with a one-year Certificate in Bible and Missions, or are ready to dive-in to the AA or BA Intercultural Studies program, we have opportunities for you at Bethany College of Missions. Or, you may have a degree and want to get a Certificate or Masters in Intercultural Leadership online through our Bethany Center for Global Studies. You can visit the BCOM website to learn more about God’s place for you in missions training.
