OUR PLAN

Things aren't always “one-size fits all,” and that includes theological training. Everyone has unique gifts, needs, and ministries. This diversity creates an opportunity to customize a positive and effective learning experience. MTI equips students and teachers for each ministry context.

 

Theological education requires flexibility in order to be biblically faithful and culturally meaningful.

A Fresh Approach To Theological Training

Missional Theology Initiative (MTI) takes a new approach to learning theology.

Most evangelical theological schools are located in the West and are contextualized for Western students. But for those in other parts of the world, the Bible can feel like a foreign story. So, MTI is designed with culturally contextualized content by teachers from around the world and across traditions.

Why MTI?

At Mission ONE, we believe that teaching people to contextualize biblical truth removes unnecessary cultural barriers to the hope found in Jesus Christ. We also believe theological education should be available to any student, pastor, or evangelist — no matter where they live in the world.

MTI seeks to provide a contextualized theological curriculum with the opportunity to earn a Master of Arts in Missional Theology. This hybrid, ready-made program is made for and led by the Global Church. It gives access to theological teaching that is meaningful for students across a wide array of cultural contexts.
