Develop
Cross-Cultural Ministry Skills at Southern Nazarene University
Going Global sometimes means going global
locally. There is a growing need in the United States as well as in
Latin America for Christians who know how to minister bi-culturally. SNU
helps you develop the skills required to meet that need.
The Latino
Ministry/Latino Studies major is an interdisciplinary B.A. major
that combines courses from the School of Theology and Ministry with courses from the Department of Modern Languages. The major is designed
for students who wish to embrace mission opportunities inherent in
ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diversified
ministries. It fosters skill development in
English-Spanish/Spanish-English translation, promotes understanding of
organizational development and spiritual leadership, and actively
engages students in understanding the salient issues of the practical
work of ministry in inclusive local church settings, informed by sound
biblical and theological perspectives.
The coursework is also designed
to increase students’ appreciation for the rich and varied
contributions of Hispanic culture to theological understanding,
preparing students to serve as faithful agents of racial and ethnic
reconciliation in a variety of multicultural ministry settings. The
Latin
American Studies Program semester in Costa Rica and the Nazarene
International Language Institute semester and summer programs in
Ecuador are strongly recommended for the Latino Ministry/Latino Studies
major. For more information, contact Dr.
Frank Johnson at fjohnson@snu.edu
or Dr. Hal Cauthron at cauthron@snu.edu.
