The Salvation Army Booth College

Studying after a long break or engaging in a new field of study like Divinity/Theology can be challenging. EBC wants every student to succeed and flourish in their studies. Learning for Life and Ministry will help you to cultivate valuable skills that you can apply to your learning at university, life, and ministry.

This unit will equip you with skills to navigate online study. It will also help you to grow as a reflective learner, to think and write critically, and provide strategies to manage the competing pressures of life and ministry.
