What Students Say

  • “I enjoyed the discussions in class, the small class size meant that we could focus on issues that were important to each student. I benefited from hearing about the different issues that churches face and the ways that they respond in different contexts and cultures. This will help me as a church-planter and leader as we try to engage with our context and respond to both local and global issues”
  • "... has been challenging, thought provoking, and thoroughly enjoyable. I have been on an amazing journey of discovery and I feel like it’s just the beginning. The church in the majority world has taught me so much about church in my local context, and the access that I have been given to theologians and practitioners outside of the West has been a wonderful gift. I would highly recommend to anyone who is serious about God’s church in God’s world and how it tells God’s story through everything it does."

Expressions of Church Worldwide

8 January - 16 March 2024 (every Tuesday, 10am - 1pm GMT)
MODULAR online optional

This course will be of particular interest to church planters, church leaders, and those who wish to explore the field of World Christianity with an emphasis on expressions of church. The course explores the diversity of the church worldwide, with particular reference to the interaction between global movements and local contexts. It examines the historical and theological roots of this diversity, engaging with a range of perspectives to build understanding of the present experience of church worldwide. It also equips participants to think reflectively and strategically about appropriate expressions of church for their own context, with reference to the wider background of World Christianity.

ASC participants are not required to complete an assignment and will receive a certificate of participation on completion of the course.
