Mission Studies Center

The The Mission Studies Center is a cooperative venture among AMBS, Christian Witness Council (MC Canada), Mennonite Mission Network (MC USA), and the Mennonite Central Committee.

The center is designed to plan for and supervise the training of workers for service under sending agencies of the church.

As the assignment for which the student is preparing begins to take shape, a program of studies is specifically tailored which takes into account both the background and experience of the student and the nature of the assignment.

This program may include both courses in the AMBS curriculum and study in other schools and universities, sometimes also special intensive seminars or courses.

Since 1993 it has produced Mission Focus: Annual Review.

The Center also offers scholarships for internships in mission, and scholarships arranged in cooperation with sponsoring agencies for international students to study at AMBS who are recommended by their churches, which are usually related to Mennonite and Brethren in Christ agencies.
