The program “Bachelor of Missiology” was founded in 1998. In 1999, the program was given full accreditation by the Euro-Asian Accreditation Association (EAAA), which it continues to have to the present time.

Purpose
The Bachelor of Missiology Program is designed for students who wish to develop their knowledge of God through gaining academic skills in researching the Holy Scriptures and Christian theology. This program intends to develop the knowledge, skills, abilities and spiritual gifts necessary for having a fruitful Christian ministry that leads to the growth of churches and missionary work. The focus of this program is on both the spiritual and the social-political spheres.

Objectives
To enable the spiritual formation of students in order to be Christian workers ready to minister as missionaries.
To teach students the principles of Biblical interpretation, to widen and deepen their knowledge and understanding of the content of the Bible, giving them a foundation for systematic and practical theology, history, humanitarian disciplines (including the English language), focusing in greater detail on the study of missiology.
To give and develop skills for the practical use of the theoretical knowledge mentioned in the previous point in the context of ministry in the evangelical church and in mission work.

Philosophy of Education
This program involves three years of full time on-site study and includes lectures and seminars; pedagogical practice in churches, missions, and parachurch organizations; prayer meetings and meetings for spiritual edification; cultural and social activities; and other forms of education.
In the first year of study, students receive basic biblical knowledge, they study foundational Christian disciplines of both a theoretical and practical nature, they develop their personal spiritual lives, and they acquire skills for study and ministry.
In the second and third years of study, students continue to develop their personal spiritual lives as well as skills for ministry, using the knowledge they have gained in their studies. Students study the Old and New Testaments in greater detail. They also continue to study various humanitarian courses as well as practical courses with a missionary focus.

Course List
(Credit hours)
This program is based on the principle of starting with more basic theological courses and then moving to more specialized ones. Most general humanitarian courses are taken at the end of the program, after a solid Biblical foundation and worldview have been learned. Spiritual formation and practical ministry are taught throughout a student’s course of study.
