Perspectives on the World Christian Movement
Perspectives is a 15-week course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives"—biblical, historical, cultural and strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God's global purpose. The mission of Perspectives is “to mobilize by educating the Body of Christ in the USA to strategic engagement in God’s global purpose.” Christar requires each incoming candidate to complete a Perspectives course before beginning full-time service with Christar.
