Challenging Our Assumptions
For many Christians, the word mission immediately brings to mind images of missionaries travelling to distant lands to preach the gospel. While this is certainly part of mission, it barely scratches the surface of what the Bible teaches.
Mission is far bigger. It is the very heart of God’s purposes for the world: reaching every nation, transforming communities, caring for creation, and restoring broken relationships. It’s not just for a few; it’s a calling for every believer, every church, everywhere.
Understanding Mission Through the Bible
The Understanding Mission course helps you explore what the whole Bible says about God’s mission. From Genesis to Revelation, you’ll discover how mission has always been at the centre of God’s plan, and how we, as His people, are invited to participate.
This course will challenge common assumptions and broaden your understanding of what it truly means to live as people on mission – wherever you are.
Equip Your Church or Group for Mission
As a pastor, church leader, or Bible study facilitator, you are called to guide others in living out God’s mission. But too often, the understanding of mission remains narrow or unclear. The Understanding Mission course gives you and your group a strong biblical foundation to confidently teach, lead, and inspire others to see the full scope of God’s purpose for the world.
This is not just academic study—it’s practical, thought-provoking, and designed to spark real change within your church or study group. Whether you are discipling new believers or challenging mature Christians, this course will equip you with the tools to lead with clarity and conviction.
