An introduction to mission and ministry in North American culture through the lens of practical theology. The course centers the local parish as a Kingdom outpost and equips you to read your context with theological clarity—engaging civil religion, media ecosystems, technology, entertainment, and consumerism. Through case studies and accessible frameworks, you will connect doctrine to practice for parish life, integrating evangelism, catechesis, apologetics, and pastoral mission so the church can bear faithful witness in everyday life.
