A W O R D F R O M D R . C A N E RAcross the world God is working in marvelous and miraculous

ways. Our Lord is raising up a generation that will follow Him

with all of their heart, mind, soul, and strength. Such is the

case at Truett-McConnell College, where God is smiling upon

the endeavors of a new generation who are being equipped

to “walk worthy of the call with which you were called” (Eph.

4:1). Perhaps you wish to be one of those ready to follow

the Lord’s will in your life. In whatever profession God calls

you, He asks all of us to be witnesses of His Gospel (Matt.

28:19-20). Come and see, then come and be the servant God

has called you to be, wherever you are.

Dr. Emir Caner President

LOVE THE LORDTHEOLOGY I & THEOLOGY IIIn an age of religious illiteracy, professors with great passion for God must equip students to speak biblically and intelligently about God. Our students are taught to stand on the fundamentals of the faith, including the deity of Christ, His substitutionary death, and His soon coming return. At Truett-McConnel College, biblical theology reigns as Queen of the Sciences.

LOVE THE WORDBIBLE SURVEY & CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEWDefending the faith begins with understanding how to defend God’s inerrant Word. Students must betaught how to rely fully and solely on the Bible; however, that is but half the battle. Truett-McConnell’s curriculum speaks to the heart as well as the soul. Those devoted to the Lord will also be devoted to His Word daily.

LOVE THE CHURCHBAPTIST HISTORYMany Christians see church membership as optional. Truett-McConnell strongly emphasizes the necessity of corporate ministry, worship and fellowship. Baptist History gives students an appreciation of their heritage and teaches them to treasure one of the organisms God Himself created – the Church.

LOVE THE LOSTINTRO TO MISSIONS & EVANGELISMOR MISSIONS PRACTICUMA Christian school must teach the Great Commission as mandatory and not optional, and must call out the called. Leaders of TMC’s World Missions Center train students for a life charactierized by sharing Christ at home and abroad. Like our Anabaptist forefathers, we recognize that evangelism may come at a great cost. A faith worth living for is a faith worth dying for.

At Truett-McConnell College, motivation for the Great

Commission begins in the classroom and extends from the

campus, to the streets, and to the countries around the

world. Whether ministering to AIDS patients in North Africa

or evangelizing in the streets of El Salvador, TMC students

see the world as Jesus did: ripe for the harvest.

Some students choose a mission trip to fulfill one of the two

options as part of the required Great Commission minor.

This 16 hour minor includes the study of theology, missions,

Baptist history and a Christian worldview.
