University Degree courses in Theology, Mission and Evangelism

An innovative approach to mission and evangelism

Through our approved academic partnership with the University of Chester, we offer a Foundation Degree of Arts (FdA) over 2 years full-time or 3 years part-time and a Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA) over 3 years full-time and 5 years part-time. These courses combine lectures, practice based learning and placements designed to help students explore and develop their own approach to mission and evangelism in the 21st century.

Accredited Baptist Ministerial Training

Develop your pioneering and mission skills

While studying on a Degree course (above), students simultaneously have a pathway into accredited Baptist ministry training with a particular emphasis on pioneering and mission. This training is offered in partnership with Northern Baptist College who provide the Baptist Ministerial Formation element.

Professional Certificate in Pioneer Chaplaincy and Mission

Bring the presence of Christ into unexpected places

In partnership with Third Space Ministries, this new qualification, also validated by The University of Chester, is a one-year course which teaches how to bring the presence of Christ into unexpected places like supermarkets, gyms, pubs and nightclubs amongst people who have little idea of who Jesus is.

‘Hope Builders’ Online Short Course

Be a ‘bringer of hope’ in a time of fear

As people emerge from lockdown with big questions about life and purpose, discover how to use your God-given creativity to introduce them to Jesus. The course will be held over 7 hour-long sessions in September and October, and will be led by Rev Chris Duffett, Co-Principal of The Light College, and hosted by Rev Simon Goddard from RiverTree.
