  • The specific goals of the Global Institute of Theology are to:

    1. build a community of learning and faith as students and faculty work together on vital themes in Bible and theology today and create for ourselves an immediate international context; 

  • 2. encounter contemporary biblical and theological approaches in their interconfessional, intercultural, and interreligious dimensions. This will include the study of lived and living missiologies and the ongoing WCRC study on Reformed identity and mission; 

  • 3. introduce the varying contextual perspectives on the Christian witness of the global Reformed family — bearing in mind our understanding of God’s mission in every continent, and being aware of what all our churches have to learn from Reformed witness in every land; 

  • 4. strengthen global networks of sharing and reflection among theological students and faculty, church workers, theological institutions, and churches for continuing action and reflection in the WCRC.
