Welcome to the Mission College at Urbancrest

An internship for long-term missionaries, mission/ministry leaders, and church planters.

Many people have varying views and understanding of what Missions looks like. The Mission College at Urbancrest can help individuals explore a personal call to missions; prepare and experience mission trips or projects; and better understand a biblical approach to Missions.

This is an eighteen month basic missiology study to give participants a broad view of the world and their place in it. Together with guest Missionary speakers; Minister of Missions; Church Planters and my missionary experience serving in Ukraine through the International Mission Board, we will prepare students for cross-cultural service both domestic and throughout the world.

Because we are the Church, Christ has built us; called us; and equipped us for service in the world. Jesus clearly explained to the disciples…the gospel must be preached to all the nations.
