Bring Real-World Application to Big Picture Theology

From global missions to everyday conversations, your theology matters. As a missionary, the spouse of a missionary, or someone preparing for missional work, how do you set biblical and theological foundations for practical, cultural, and cross-cultural challenges?

You explore the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. You examine major themes in each and how they impact an accurate understanding of Christology, Pneumatology, and Theology. In short, you dive deep into your Christian worldview to widen your impact in a non-Christian world.

The Missions: IMB certificate in Foundational Theology meets the requirements provided by the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention for the spouse of a career missionary.
