Holistic Mission
Registration is now open for the Easter term intensive course on holistic mission at Trinity House. The course will be held at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, March 17-21, 2014.
The goal of missions is to build holistic, sustainable, and self-propagating Christian communities, or to use the Biblical idiom, to build the City of God. In our globalized world where urban populations now exceed rural ones, and where over a billion people live in shanty towns in extreme poverty, we believe that ministering as Jesus did, accompanying the sound and vigorous preaching of the Gospel with a passionate engagement in ministries of mercy and justice, will result in the growth of the kingdom of God.
In this course, Rev. Wes Baker, drawing on years of mission experience in Peru , will outline a biblical theology for holistic mission at home and abroad.
