Training Division
On the adjacent campus of its affiliated university, the USCWM provides formal training in the fields of international and community development. These areas are crucial to reaching the unreached, saving lives, and earning the opportunity to speak to the spiritual condition. Primarily through distance education (with mentor relationships), the USCWM equips people to be culturally sensitive, biblically astute agents of change. Communities of believers can provide practical demonstrations of the transformation that can be fostered in and through those who gather as disciples of Jesus.
One expression of the USCWM's emphasis on biblical education with a global perspective is the original Sonlight home school curriculum, developed originally by a USCWM staff member for use on the mission field. Sonlight is now one of the most widely used home-school curricula among believing families around the world. The USCWM continues to develop and advocate improvements to educational content and methods so as to better equip people for effective service in the frontiers of mission. With the addition of Maranatha High School, the USCWM now offers local training programs from Kindergarten through Ph.D. In cooperation with Maranatha and Judson International School, the USCWM is now developing materials supplementary to existing secular textbooks, so that students can discover the key roles that God's spirit and His people have played in history, science, and other disciplines.
The USCWM Training Division equips believers with the latest
missiological insights through integrated course work and extension
classes offered in the United States and around the world.
