What is the course about?

Alliance History and Thought is a course which surveys the origins of The Christian and Missionary Alliance movement in its social, cultural, and theological context, with emphasis on its historical continuities and changes, and evaluating Alliance "distinctives."

Why do I need to take this?

Although required for Faculty of Theology programs at Ambrose, those within the denominational licensing process must take this course for credit in order to work within the Alliance denomination.

PLEASE NOTE, a discount equal to 50% off the current credit tuition rate is available for C&MA official workers and Global International workers who are taking the course for licencing purposes and approved by their respective District. Please contact your specific District for more details.

Students NOT taking this course for licencing purposes, will need to show proof of having taken the pre-requisite to this course. This can be done via an unofficial transcript pdf document sent to our office via email.
