school of world missions

If you believe God is guiding you to impact the world through cross-cultural service, either in professional church-related ministry or as a "tentmaker" working in a restricted-access country, then the Toccoa Falls College School of World Missions is for you!

Consider how God could use you to impact a second culture:

• Starting churches in unreached people groups
• Accelerating church growth among responsive people groups
• Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
• Teaching the Bible or counseling
• Equipping church leaders to understand the major religions of the world
• Participating in Bible translation
• Participating in Medical Missions as a doctor or nurse

Preparation
The School of World Missions exists for one purpose - to prepare men and women to effectively communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ to people of other cultures.

Cross-cultural communication is a required skill in the 21^st century. Communication is no longer a matter of trial and error, preparation is paramount. To a great extent the success of the cross-cultural communicator is based on skills which can be learned, practiced and perfected.

The School of World Missions integrates two sets of knowledge and skills: missions and anthropology. These are taught with a strong Biblical and theological foundation by professors who are academically qualified and have served effectively as missionaries. We believe that cross-cultural witnesses need anthropology to understand the way the world is, theology to have a vision of what the world should be, and missiology to plan effective strategies for achieving God's vision

In addition, each student gains practical experience by spending at least one summer in a cross-cultural field internship, performing Christian service in a short-term missions project.
