Travel Course – Mission in a Post-Christian Society: Learning from the U.K.
Join us next June 5-12, 2027, for a course-credit study trip to the United Kingdom. British society is increasingly post-Christian, and we will focus on the rich ‘mixed ecology’ of church planting and fresh expressions created within multiple levels of the Church of England and other denominations.
Apply early by completing the course application form.
- Submit your application by October 31, as there are limited spaces available.
- Note: this class overlaps with Summer RFS, so students interested in both will have to choose one or the other.
