The world we live in today is cosmopolitan, globally connected, and 24/7/365, straddling both geographical and digital spaces. In Singapore, surrounding regions, or countries farther from this island nation, the dynamism of the 21st century has introduced new challenges. Serving in such a world requires understanding, perspective, competence, emotional stability, compassion, and other leadership qualities for effective ministry.
At the School of Theology (English), we are keenly aware of the changes and challenges of our generation as we train leaders for ministry in the 21st century. For that reason, we have identified four areas in our curriculum as important competencies and capacities to cultivate in our students:
UNDERSTANDING CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS
DEVELOPING CHARACTER IN COMMUNITY
UNDERSTANDING CULTURAL SHIFTS
DEVELOPING MINISTRY SKILLS
Our vision and goal for the SOTE community is that the learning and training experience be academically challenging, spiritually invigorating, culturally diverse, and educationally engaging. Our desire is that the time spent in our learning community will inspire leaders who are biblically and theologically informed, contextually relevant, globally aware, missionally oriented, wise in judgement, and trustworthy in all matters.
From our experience, the best learning modality is still done in-person within a community. But for those unable to come onsite, from July 2024, SOTE is offering the Graduate Diploma, the first year of the Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies and Master of Arts in Christian Studies, and the MDiv/MA Preparatory Year as “hyflex” (i.e., students can choose to study online/onsite). SBC now has new Smart and Hybrid classrooms, making online/onsite interactions even simpler and more effective.?
As enrolled students, you can apply to our generous scholarship and financial aid options. Remember to check them out!
The table below provides a summary of the programmes offered in the School of Theology (English) as well as the goals intended for each programme. Take time to discuss these programme options with your church or mission leaders and to make an informed decision about your choice of programme.
