Curriculum Structure
The curriculum of EuNC consists of nine clusters. All courses of the three different programmes are divided over one of these nine clusters. The curriculum framework shows how the nine clusters are connected.
1. Bible
The foundational source that informs our view on God, the Church, the world and
ministry is Scripture. Therefore students need to become well grounded in Scripture
for receiving direction and inspiration.
Spiritual Formation Certificate: 15 ECTS
Christian Ministry Certificate: 25 ECTS
Bachelor of Arts Degree: 50 ECTS
2. Theology, Tradition and Identity
Flowing out of Scripture comes our theology, with added to this the information from
tradition, reason and experience (Wesleyan quadrilateral). It is our distinctive Wesleyan
theology that provides identity, and describes who we are as a church.
Spiritual Formation Certificate: 9 ECTS
Christian Ministry Certificate: 20 ECTS
Bachelor of Arts Degree: 35 ECTS
3. God's Mission; the Church and Vocation
The heart of the curriculum is a biblical understanding of the heart of God and His mission
in the world. Our understanding of the church and of our lives as vocation needs to be
informed by this missiological understanding, and believers need to find their place in the
missionary activity of God through the Church as the body of Christ.

4. Proclaiming the Kingdom of God
One of the two main responsibilities of the Church as the body of Christ is the proclamation
of the Kingdom of God as Jesus announced in Luke 4:18. Students will explore this ministry
of the church.

5. Shepherding the Flock
The other main responsibility of the Church is reflected in the words of Jesus to Peter:
"Feed my Sheep". (John 21:15) The courses in this cluster focus on the nurture the
church provides for its people or how the church can be led and organised to fulfil this
responsibility.
