Introduction to World Missions

People seated in a church pew are singing from hymnals, under warm pendant lighting. The atmosphere is focused and reflective.

Rooted in Word, Sent to the World.⁠ ⁠​

Two men sit at a table, engaged in conversation. One wears glasses and a green jacket, the other a plaid shirt. The setting is casual and friendly.

An introduction to the biblical, theological, and historical foundations of world mission that moves from Scripture to practice. You will trace the mission of God from Israel to the Church, survey key moments in global mission history, and develop a theologically grounded vision for evangelism, cross‑cultural ministry, and partnership with the persecuted church. With accessible, hands‑on guidance, the course engages dialogue across faiths, unreached peoples, justice and mercy, spiritual warfare, and the vital role of the local parish in sending, supporting, and sustaining mission.⁠ ⁠​

The Rev. Dr. Bradley Price Roderick

Vice President of Academic Affairs

After thirty-plus years in cross-cultural missions, Bradley continues discovering ways to help believers be on mission with the Father in prayer, evangelism, discipleship, leadership training, and church planting. Trinity has been a place for formation in practical and spiritual aspects of service to Christ and His Church, committed to God's Word and sharing it.

As Vice President of Academic Affairs and Director of the Stanway Institute for World Missions and Evangelism, Bradley loves that Trinity's emphasis is formation—helping students, staff, faculty, and administration become better disciples prepared to fulfill the Great Commission. Trinity doesn't offer random classes but guides a community to work together for mutual edification. Classes, weekly lunches, Daily Offices, weekly Eucharist, and gathering over coffee help all be made more into Christ's image.

Bradley is thankful for Trinity's outsized impact on the Global Anglican Communion. Participating in ACNA, GAFCON, and Global South Fellowship events, he encounters Trinity family serving faithfully around the country and globe. He and his wife Gretchen enjoy trying new cuisines and are proud grandparents of Jude, Sofia, and Ivy. They love to travel and he's visited all fifty states and over thirty-five countries!
