Missions Track
At WEST we believe all our students should have a strong mission vision. We also recognize that certain individuals are called and equipped to cross boundaries of culture, language and geography. Therefore we want to equip such individuals with the specialist tools for intercultural ministry.
The teaching of intercultural studies is a key part of the curriculum at all levels. Because we believe that mission must be both robustly biblical and intensely practical, all our lecturers have both academic theological qualifications and hands on personal experience.
