when: 15 - 17 Oct 2025 | cost: $0 – $50 | address: 185 North Oakland Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101, United StatesThis year, Fuller Seminary is commemorating 60 years of teaching and developing missiology as an academic discipline. Begun in 1965 under the auspices of the School of World Mission (SWM), and continued from 2003 in the renamed School of Intercultural Studies (SIS), missiology has been taught and researched within the School of Mission and Theology (SMT) since 2021. During these six decades, the discipline of missiology has undergone various transformations and developments in dialogue with the church, the world at large, and generations of faculty and students. We have moved from a nearly exclusive focus on mission methods to a multidisciplinary approach that engages and integrates various social sciences with history and theology. We study both local and global expressions of mission by churches and agencies from a vast array of peoples and in diverse contexts throughout Christian history and today.
Our 60th Missiology Lectures this October celebrate and assess missiology at Fuller by critically and appreciatively exploring “Missiology in a New Generation.” This is a working conference. We have asked four scholars who know Fuller to join us so that they can offer critical feedback and insights about what they see as the new horizons for missiology. These perspectives will then be discussed by and with our faculty, students, alumni, and trustees, as we discern what parts of the legacy of SWM/SIS will be most relevant to SMT in the coming years, and which new topics, approaches, and disciplines hold promise for missiological inquiry in the next decades.
