About the Synergy Program
To date, 3.1 Billion people around the world have little to no access to the message of the gospel. The Burnham Center exists to release biblically prepared, cross-culturally trained Christians to engage people with the gospel right where they live and see that number move toward zero.
Synergy is one way that we are making that happen.
What Are the Benefits of the Synergy Program?
- Real life cross-cultural ministry training from current missions practitioners.
- Become a member of a missions organization working to spread the gospel to the world.

- Earn valuable cross-cultural experience that will better prepare you for employment in a global marketplace.
- Shorten the time it takes to launch a ministry.
What Are the Requirements for the Program?
Twelve hours of coursework is available as an elective that will be done in conjunction with Calvary University and the chosen mission agency. Agencies that have agreed to partner with Calvary in this program include Biblical Ministries Worldwide, Crossworld, and Ethnos 360. The details of the program vary with each mission agency; however, the coursework completed is the same.
In the spring semester of their Sophomore year, students who choose this option will decide on which missions organization they want to work with. They will then apply with that agency, enroll in their first Intercultural Methods course, and begin the process of being approved by that agency.
Through subsequent coursework, the student will be trained by that agency in addition to courses they are taking at Calvary, choose a field to serve in, begin the support raising process, and continue to progress towards graduation and field departure. This option will allow students to FastTrack to the mission field, so they can begin fulfilling their calling to reach the nations for Christ.
