MISSIONS
A WORD FROM DR. CANER Across the world God is working in marvelous and miraculous ways. Our Lord is raising up a generation that will follow Him with all of their heart, mind, soul, and strength. Such is the case at Truett-McConnell College, where God is smiling upon the endeavors of a new generation who are being equipped to “walk worthy of the call with which you were called” (Eph. 4:1). Perhaps you wish to be one of those ready to follow the Lord’s will in your life. In whatever profession God calls you, He asks all of us to be witnesses of His Gospel (Matt. 28:19-20). Come and see, then come and be the servant God has called you to be, wherever you are.

THE FOUR PILLARS
THE FOUNDATION OF TRUETT-MCCONNELL’S VISION
LOVE THE LORD
LOVE THE WORD
THEOLOGY I & THEOLOGY II
BIBLE SURVEY & CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
In an age of religious illiteracy, professors with great passion for God must equip students to speak biblically and intelligently about God. Our students are taught to stand on the fundamentals of the faith, including the deity of Christ, His substitutionary death, and His soon coming return. At Truett-McConnel College, biblical theology reigns as Queen of the Sciences.
Defending the faith begins with understanding how to defend God’s inerrant Word. Students must be taught how to rely fully and solely on the Bible; however, that is but half the battle. Truett-McConnell’s curriculum speaks to the heart as well as the soul. Those devoted to the Lord will also be devoted to His Word daily.
LOVE THE LOST
LOVE THE CHURCH
INTRO TO MISSIONS & EVANGELISM OR MISSIONS PRACTICUM
BAPTIST HISTORY Many Christians see church membership as optional. Truett-McConnell strongly emphasizes the necessity of corporate ministry, worship and fellowship. Baptist History gives students an appreciation of their heritage and teaches them to treasure one of the organisms God Himself created – the Church.
A Christian school must teach the Great Commission as mandatory and not optional, and must call out the called. Leaders of TMC’s World Missions Center train students for a life charactierized by sharing Christ at home and abroad. Like our Anabaptist forefathers, we recognize that evangelism may come at a great cost. A faith worth living for is a faith worth dying for.
