The Bachelor of Theology and Ministry programme takes seriously the charge to love God with all heart, soul, strength–and especially—mind expressed in the love of the neighbor. It is designed to train and produce graduates on mission who can flourish in theological, ecclesial, and ministerial vocations. The programme is developed in recognition of the need for well-formed servant leaders in church, academy, and society who join in God’s mission to bring wise, holistic care for the blessing of society and creation.

- Communicate coherently in professionally competent written form (following a standard style guide) and in effective oral form on matters of religion, illuminating historical, theological, and pastoral implications for contemporary societies.
