Theology
-
Perhaps you’ve recently heard a preach and a point was raised that made you ask questions but you’re not sure what to do with them?
Studying theology can open your mind and add to your understanding of biblical texts and how they can affect worldviews and the way that texts are used.
With a range of modules and courses available, you can dip your toe into the world of theology, or dive in headfirst.
Ministry
-
Our commitment to faithful innovation means we are always moving forward with the times, considering practical application of skills and development of character in the world today.
Our robust ministry training leaves students knowing their voice and what they can bring to the world.
Students are exposed to new perspectives and learn how to collaborate well with others, while walking alongside those they begin to pastor.
Mission
-
Responding to the Great Commission in Matthew 28, we play our part in making disciples of all nations, equipping those who want to dig in deeper to God’s calling on their life, whether that is through traditional ministry or mission at your workplace.
Testimonies of God’s astounding grace and transforming presence fuel us in our ambition to be faithful to God’s word.
Our courses cover the pastoral and the practical, preparing you for your missional journey.
