Don't forget to check out the Flight PlanWhile pursuing academic excellence, it is our conviction that academic acheivement should never be confused with equipping for ministry. To best serve the students who come to us, the churches who send and support them and the mission agencies who will facilitate them in the future, our focus is getting someone from the point of knowing God's calling to being established in meaningful cross-cultural ministry. The Flight Plan is a tool which offers intentional accountability - asking from the very start - 'why are you here?' ...and... 'where is God leading you?' For more details see Flight Plan. Eastwest College is registered with NZQA (New Zealand Qualifications Authority). For more information contact NZQA.
