Bachelor of Religious Education – Three Year General

God has called Christians to be devoted disciples who are also disciple-makers, sharing the good news of love, hope, and freedom that is found in the grace of Jesus. The Bachelor of Religious Education — Three Year General equips and prepares men and women to fulfil this calling. It provides you with the opportunity to study God’s Word, learn about theology, develop a biblical worldview through general education studies, and equip yourself to be a disciple and witness in the workplace, in further education, and in all of life.

Over the course of this three-year degree, you will:

• Grow in your faith and deepen an understanding of God’s call on your life to be a disciple who makes disciples.
• Study God’s Word and develop insight into Christian theology.
• Gain an understanding of the history and mission of the church.
• Choose from a variety of Bible, theology, and professional studies electives to reflect your personal need and interest.
