About Pathways
This 12-week course will teach you about the Great Commission through five areas of study:
Biblical: God’s plan for the world in scripture, throughout history, today, and for the future.
Historical: How that plan has unfolded so far as the gospel has spread to many places.
Strategic: The church’s assignment and goal in this age and how we go about fulfilling it.
Cultural: How culture affects the work and how we can approach other cultures rightly.
Partnership: The roles that a Jesus-follower (you!) can play in the mission God gave us
