Intercultural Studies
Explore global mission, cross culture engagement, expand your understanding and help your ministry or organisation to be more effective.
Learn to serve well interculturally
Do you have a passion for sharing the truth, light and love of Christ with people of different cultures and worldviews?
Do you have a heart for mission in your local area and overseas?
The Intercultural Studies Stream will equip you with the biblical knowledge, practical skills, personal preparation and missiological thinking, to engage effectively in cross-cultural ministry and global mission wherever God has placed you.
The Islamic Studies sub-stream, offered through MST’s Arthur Jeffery Centre (unique to the Southern Hemisphere) will equip you with theological, historical and cultural understanding to interact confidently with Muslim people anywhere.
