 Continuing Professional Development
The gospel never changes, but the context and practice of mission has - and is continuing to do so more quickly today than ever before.
Through Redcliffe's flexible programme of Continuing Professional Development you will have access to the latest in mission thinking. Our courses are taught by lecturers who themselves have experience on the field.
Who will benefit from this opportunity?
• Do you have experience in mission, but want to maintain, improve or broaden your knowledge and skills?
• Would you like to be able to spend time researching a topic of your choice, using extensive library and research facilities?
• Do you want to explore the latest developments in mission and have the opportunity to live, study and worship amongst an international community of people of all ages and backgrounds who are training for mission?

Across the Cultures
The 12-week Across the Cultures course allows you to select from a range of topics most specific to cross-cultural and mission issues, for example Issues and Trends in Mission and Living and Working Cross-culturally.
