COURSE CURRICULUM

The Cross-Cultural Discipleship Training Certificate at Providence University College includes a carefully selected range of courses that provide students with both theological grounding and practical skills for ministry in diverse cultural contexts. The program begins with Reading the Church’s Bible, a course that develops students’ ability to interpret Scripture within the context of the global Church, equipping them to apply biblical truths across cultures. Theological Foundations introduces key doctrines and frameworks that shape Christian belief and practice, giving students a solid base for spiritual formation and teaching. Worldview and Culture explores how deeply held cultural beliefs and assumptions influence the way people interpret life, faith, and relationships, helping students engage with others respectfully and insightfully. Cross-Cultural Discipleship focuses on the principles and challenges of making disciples in settings where cultural norms and values may differ significantly from one's own, preparing students to minister in ways that are both faithful to the Gospel and sensitive to local traditions. Principles of Teaching and Learning provides essential strategies for communicating effectively and fostering growth in others, particularly in diverse learning environments. Together, these courses develop the theological insight, cultural intelligence, and practical teaching skills needed to disciple others meaningfully in global ministry contexts.
