In a fragmented world, faithful witness demands ethics rooted in the Missio Dei itself. This course is vital because it reorients Christian morality from individual rule-keeping to communal testimony of God’s redemptive character.

This course integrates a Biblically-based approach by rooting moral theology in Scripture's missional narrative, drawing from God's character and actions—like the Trinitarian redemption in John 13-15 and the cultural mandate in Genesis 1–2—to inform ethical practices. Students engage texts contextually, applying prophetic justice (Amos 5) and redemptive relationships (2 Corinthians 5) to foster transformed, faithful witness in diverse settings, embodying obedience to the Missio Dei through stewardship and grace-filled mission.
This course integrates a missionally-driven approach by centering moral theology on the Missio Dei, transforming ethics into a lifestyle of redemptive witness (Matthew 6:33; Acts 1:8). Students discern God's work in communities, cultivate perseverance amid challenges (Hebrews 12:1), and develop lifelong leadership through spiritual practices like prayerful service and equipping others—fostering incarnational strategies that embody compassionate, Spirit-empowered mission in everyday contexts.
This course integrates a contextually-informed approach by grounding moral theology in Scripture's call to incarnational living (John 1:14), equipping students to recognize diverse sociocultural environments through cultural mapping and ethnographic listening (Acts 17:22–34). They cultivate awareness of worldviews, evaluate intercultural dynamics with empathy (Ephesians 2:14–16), and develop tailored ethical strategies that honor local values while advancing God's redemptive mission in unique community contexts.
This course integrates an interculturally-focused approach by anchoring moral theology in Scripture's vision of unity amid diversity (Revelation 7:9; Acts 2:4-6), equipping students to assess ethnocentrism (Jonah 4), communicate proficiently across barriers (1 Corinthians 9:19-23), foster authentic connections through humility and hospitality (Luke 14:16-24), and cultivate resilient dispositions (Philippians 2:3-4)—enabling transcultural ethical witness that honors God's reconciling mission.
This course integrates a practically-minded approach by translating moral theology into actionable missional strategies, fostering ethical integrity (Micah 6:8) and research-informed practices for justice (Isaiah 61:1). Through field interviews, creative visuals, and micro-to-macro projects, students bridge faith with diverse contexts, equipping them for redemptive problem-solving and prophetic witness in everyday missional settings.
This course integrates an experientially-transformed approach by immersing students in reflective field practices—interviews, live presentations, and peer discussions—that evaluate personal ethical worldviews against the Missio Dei (Romans 12:2).
