"All over the world God's people are rediscovering the fullness of mission, with the whole church bringing the whole gospel to the whole world. This programme will enable participants to critically reflect on this move of God and become equipped for effective mission in their own locations."

Master of Theology in Community Learning & Development with Applied Theology

A professional study programme for practitioners

Increasingly Christians are facing the question of how to engage better with the communities they seek to serve. The diverse field of Community Learning and Development offers an approach to Christian outreach and discipleship which can enhance engagement with community.

Community Learning and Development has three main branches - youth work, adult learning, and community capacity building.

The Master of Theology in Community Learning & Development with Applied Theology programme offers the opportunity both to explore the principles of community learning and development, and to reflect on and critique these principles theologically:

  • Biblical and theological reflection
  • Integration of theology and the principles of community learning and development
  • Reflection on ongoing practice
  • Opportunity to learn from the practice of community development projects nationally and internationally

Transforming Communities ImageThe programme is aimed at those involved in youth work, adult learning, community capacity-building, pastoral ministry, work with socially excluded groups, etc. Teaching is through intensive study weeks so students can remain in their jobs, and reflection on work or ministry is central to the learning.
