Program
Summary:
Based on the
premise that ministry involves both a revealed content for
ministry and a human context of ministry, The Journey seeks
to equip Christian leaders like you in ...
#1 Acquiring a structured grasp of the biblical and
theological resources, balanced with an understanding of
how this revealed material has been understood by
thoughtful people of God throughout the theological
tradition.
#2 Developing leadership and ministry skills, along with
cultural sensitivity and the capacity to equip others with
such skills ensuring that the church remains a spiritually
responsive, unified community able to fulfill her God-
given mission on earth.
Reflecting these two purposes, The Journey offers a
selection of courses in four major areas – Biblical
Studies, Theology , Ministry Leadership, and Applied
Theology . Each course is derived from an equivalent
offered at ACTS, with some adaptations to the Edmonton
site.
What about
accreditation? The
Journey is not itself an educational institution, nor does
it grant either credits nor degrees. Rather it functions as
an expression of ACTS seminaries in Langley, B.C. which is
fully accredited under ATS. Admission to a program and
graduation requirements are the same as those used by ACTS.
However, The Journey offers a ready way whereby you may
“try out” seminary, and, if successful, may then apply for
further courses or a full program.
What if I don’t meet
the regular admission requirements? If you have at least some post-secondary
educational background, and believe that you are able to do
graduate level study, you are welcome to apply and take
whatever individual courses you choose. This is a great way
to “try out” and see whether a full seminary program is for
you. After completing courses at The Journey, you may well
choose to apply for a program leading to a degree, whether
at ACTS or another school. One very flexible program
offered at ACTS is the MACS degree (53 credit hours)
