BCM 104 - Ecclesiology: The Church and Its Ministries

Credits: 4

This course explores the question, “What is the church?” and introduces historic and contemporary responses across Christian traditions (e.g. Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Free Churches, Pentecostal). The course introduces the Church’s purpose and ministries (worship, edification, and proclamation in word and deed) as essentially related to God’s past, present, and future redemptive movement. It examines contemporary challenges and opportunities for the Global Church.
