Christian Media & Communication
Description
Christian Media Major
Our Mission
Equip 21st-century missional entrepreneurs with innovative competencies and literacies to transform cyberspace with a proper understanding of the plan of salvation.
Our Philosophy
The number of nontraditional households with a post-Christian culture has made it much more challenging to use traditional outreach methods. Therefore, it is a top priority to rethink and innovate how we engage in mission work without compromising our biblical worldview.
In the book The Ministry of Healing, Ellen White presents a method by which we can be truly successful in our mission work. It is a well thought out process that involves empathizing with the perspective of the people we want to serve. Our main goal is to instill a human-centered approach to ministry. This approach is a way to improve the usability and user experience for digital content created by students for those seeking spiritual answers. By helping students adopt this mindset, technology will never overshadow ministry but will remain a tool that supports the work.
Our Student Profile
Our media program is specifically designed for students who want to develop creative entrepreneurial skills to win souls. Students are encouraged to find new ways to reach changing generations with the unchanging, everlasting gospel.
