Overview
The Bachelor of Community Development and Theology takes seriously the creational mandate that humans, as divine image-bearers, join in the task to cultivate and mediate God’s blessing for the holistic flourishing of the global community. This privilege and responsibility emanates from God’s mission to bring righteousness and justice “on earth as it is in heaven” as revealed in Scripture and enfleshed in local churches. It is within this framework that students are equipped to lead individuals and communities toward holistic transformation in both domestic and international settings.
