Mission-focused qualifications through EBC/UD

Did you know that you can create a specialised mission-focused qualification through EBC?

Mission is the heartbeat of who we are as The Salvation Army. Deepen your understanding and practice of mission, exploring biblical and theological foundations, consider social mission and justice issues, as well as contextual themes of mission in contemporary Australia through EBC’s suite of mission-focused units. Study at EBC is fully online, so you can study while you continue to engage in mission, ministry, and work wherever you are.

We have mapped a clear plan for people who are interested in exploring holistic, contemporary and social mission that can be completed in 12-18 months as a part-time student. You will learn from experienced academic-practitioners such as Lt Col Dr Lyn Edge, Rev Dr Arseny Ermakov and Rev Dr Rex Rigby. There are two pathways; one catering for those with prior Bachelor level or equivalent qualifications and an accessible pathway for people with no prior qualifications.

Bible for Holistic Mission and Contemporary Mission in Context are two of our newest units, having been taught for the first time in 2025.

Audit study is also an option for people who are keen to engage with learning content for professional or personal development purposes without the rigor of assessments or aiming towards a qualification.

(Please note that this advice is based on the 2027 EBC timetable. All units are not offered every year, so please talk to us if you are interested in a mission-focused qualification but looking to start at a later time or extend the period of learning beyond the period outlined above).
