Mission Statement:

The mission of the World Missions major at Kyiv Theological Seminary is to prepare students theologically and culturally to effectively minister across cultural barriers in order to help fulfill the great commission.

Vision Statement:

The vision of the program is to see evangelical churches in Ukraine and Eurasia send out skilled missionaries who will minister the Gospel cross-culturally with the goals of establishing new church movements among the unreached.

Goals:

1. Instill in students the conviction that world missions is God’s priority for His church
2. Prepare students to understand principles of cross-cultural evangelism, discipleship, and church planting
3. Equip students to develop strategies and planning for intercultural ministry 
4. Teach students to understand and respond to major world religious systems 
5. Integrate biblical and theological truth into life and ministry
6. Instill in students the ability to understand and relate to the relational dynamics of mission life 
7. Prepare students to apply skills and knowledge acquired within the major through a cross-cultural ministry internship
8. Assist students to connect with agencies that will partner with them in cross-cultural ministry.

Core Values:

1. We value the submission of all ministry activity methods to the authority of God’s revealed Word, believing that it is essential to “do His work in His way”
2. We value the submission of the missionary’s lifestyle and ministry methods to cultural styles of those to whom he/she seeks to a minister, thus “becoming all things to all men”
3. We value the establishment of new, culturally-relevant churches as the end goal of all missionary efforts.
4. We value that goal of reaching the unreached people groups, while expanding established church movements, in order to fulfill Christ’s command spread the Gospel to all nations.
