College of Missions
General Information
The North Central University College of Missions prepares students to love both God and others, extending God's Kingdom incarnationally across ethnic, racial, economic, gender, and generational barriers by focusing on unreached peoples and the oppressed and impoverished urban and rural poor. College of Missions students gain self-understanding, global awareness, missional passion & strategy, effective research, communication and teaching skills through integration of theory and practice learning as they serve in local and international ethnic communities.

Class of 2011
I think the College of Missions will provide a great opportunity for students to get connected with one another and with the issues going on around the world. This will be a great place for any student to hear from the Lord on how he or she can make an impact globally.
