The course at NTC Manchester offers exciting and stimulating opportunities to combine real and ongoing experiential learning with academic study. The BA (Hons) in Theology (Practical Theology) is designed specifically for those who are exploring or preparing for a diverse range of Christian ministries at home or abroad. Alongside ongoing taught units that include Contexts of Mission, Reflective Practice, Spiritual Formation, Biblical Studies, Theology and Church History, a year-long placement is at the heart of this course. Embedded at the centre of the course is a placement that enables students to explore their calling, affect change, and imagine their possibilities for the future. Full-time and part-time routes are available.
The practice-based BA (Hons) in Theology (Youth and Community) pathway at Nazarene Theological College equips and prepares Christian youth and community workers for employment in a range of ministries and contexts. The course recognises that it is important for Christians involved in youth and community work to be:
Theologically astute. Exploring our understanding of who God is and how this impacts upon our practice, This happens through a strong emphasis on Theological and Biblical engagement throughout the pathway.
Contextually aware. Understanding how the world is changing and how people’s thinking is shaped by the world they inhabit
Competent in practice. Acquiring the particular skills required in working with people, including listening, group work and evaluation
This programme offers you the opportunity to enjoy a unique learning experience where teachers and fellow learners explore crucial issues of our time. You will draw on insights and traditions of theology and community development to develop a deep and grounded analysis of the world, in order to engage in its transformation. Together, we will explore concepts such as Shalom as a way of understanding what individual, community and societal justice might look like.
You will have the opportunity to explore new ways to re-see and reimagine your world and your relationship to it. In doing so, you will develop approaches that help others to re-see and reimagine their own worlds. This is the foundation for real and sustained social change
