Program Overview

The Master of Arts in Christian Intercultural Studies and Covenant Ministry is designed for Christian workers who seek Christian Ministry & missions in the context of intercultural studies. In particular, this program is designed to defend and communicate the gospel to an atheistic and pluralistic society surrounded by the pluralistic and intercultural groups on the basis of God’s covenant as the key theme of both the Bible and Christian theology. This program keeps students to be balanced between intercultural flexibility and adaptation and God’s eternal word of the covenant. Through this program, students will be culturally sensitive and transformed leaders in intercultural settings.
