Readings will be drawn from primary sources, as well as works by Scott Manetsch, Kirk Summers, and the instructor.

Missions In Europe (PT627)

Rev. David Stoddard, International Director for Europe, Mission to the World
Tuesday–Friday, Jan 30–Feb 2 | 1:15–4:30 pm | 1 credit hour | In-Person

Course Description: What can the worldwide church learn about evangelism and church-planting from the European church? Europe was the first continent to be Christianized, the first to be de-Christianized and hopefully the first to be re-Christianized. This course explores the key political, social, economic, and religious influences affecting Europe’s church context today. Particular attention is given to current trends in missions to Europe and best practices for church-planting. The aim of this course is not just to educate students about Europe, but to equip them to apply lessons learned to evangelism and church-planting in their own local church context.
