The Bachelor of Theology (BTh) is designed to prepare graduates for ministry and leadership in church and community settings. The course integrates a foundation in Christian Studies with broad theoretical and practical knowledge in theology and biblical studies. This includes exploring Christian tradition historically and within faith traditions, engaging with primary texts, and reflecting on how those texts have been interpreted over the years. Practical assessments and work-integrated learning will help to develop professional skills, communication, and problem-solving abilities.

Graduates will have a broad and coherent body of knowledge, with depth in key principles and concepts, supporting independent lifelong learning. They will possess cognitive skills to critically analyse, consolidate, and synthesise knowledge; along with technical and creative skills for problem-solving with intellectual independence. Graduates will apply their knowledge and skills with initiative and judgement in diverse contexts, demonstrating responsibility, accountability, collaboration with others.

The Bachelor of Theology is only open to City Harvest School of Theology alumni with an Associate Degree in Ministry.

Tracing the evolution of the global church from its origins to the present day. Students will explore pivotal events and influential figures, evaluating Christianity’s impact across diverse cultures. Uncover the role of contextual influences of the Church in local communities, recognising its enduring legacy and envisioning future directions.

Christian Ethics

THE201

This subject aims to develop a constructive Christian ethic as a basis from which to address the moral problems confronting leaders in the contemporary church. It explores the relationship between theological reflection and ethical thinking and examines how cultural perspective and context impact ethical decision-making. The class provides opportunity to practice skills through the analysis of case studies and participation in group activities.

Building Pauline Churches: The Pastoral Epistles and Thessalonians

BIB258

A textual study of the Pastoral and Thessalonian epistles, using Paul’s cultural context in the early formation of New Testament church. The subject will seek to apply Paul’s directives to current challenges in contemporary church. Selected textual challenges will also be addressed to aid the student in acquiring good exegetical skills.

Ecclesiology and Pneumatology

THE311

This is a subject that mainly covers the doctrines of the Holy Spirit (pneumatology) and the church (ecclesiology). Under the rubric of the Holy Spirit, we will deal with the deity and personhood of the Spirit, as well as anthropology. Included also will be the experience of salvation (including prevenient grace, faith, repentance, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification) and Spirit filling. Under the doctrine of the church, we will cover election, the practices of the church and its marks. At every point, we will deal with the teachings of scriptures as the milestones of doctrine in the history of theology. The relevance of these themes for ministry will be explored as well.

New Testament Greek 1

In this beginning Greek class we will learn the basic principles of Bible translation and the use of online resources for translating the New Testament from its original Greek. Students will master the alphabet, punctuation, and sentence structure, the significance of gender, number, and case, and the basic verb tenses. At the end of the course, students will be capable of using the primary research tools to produce their own translations of short biblical passages.

Transformational Leadership

LEA411

Leadership challenges have intensified in organizations who are intentional in dealing with unprecedented change in highly disruptive, complex environments. Transformational leadership is based on the moral character of leaders who inspire others at all levels of the organization by tapping into shared needs, aspirations, and values in ways that tackle difficult issues. Beyond leading others, transformational leaders engage in self-development of leadership practices and in deep reflection on one’s inner transformation that are necessary for effectively meeting adaptive challenges.
