Christian missions is a vehicle for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism, church planting, teaching in Bible colleges, and in social action programs which feed and clothe the needy. It is a means of communicating the gospel across cultures whether in the United States or abroad. The post-modern worldview has required a renewed focus upon the biblical understanding of missions. In addition, the biblical foundation brought a number of changes to the philosophy of missions. Therefore a number of approaches to missiology are undergoing significant change. Courses in this field include mission anthropology, cross-cultural ministry, world religions, as well as a solid base of instruction in biblical studies and theology.
