Core Values

While many aspects of College life change from time to time, our core values represent what we regard as unchanging. These are emphases we deeply value. We want them to colour and shape all that we do. They flow out of our doctrinal beliefs, and they filter all that we do.

Gospel Focus

We are committed to the gospel as God’s means for saving and transforming people’s lives and the world in which we live. We want the gospel to be central to all that we do, and we seek to train people in a way that equips and enthuses them to advance the gospel in biblically sound and culturally relevant ways.

Biblical Ministries

We are committed to preparing people for strong Christ-centred ministries of the Word and so we seek to train people in biblical exegesis, in hermeneutics, in expository preaching, and in the skills needed for Word-centred pastoral and outreach ministries.

Reformed Theology

We are committed to grounding people in the system of doctrine set out in the Reformed confessions, in a covenantal and redemptive-historical understanding of the Scriptures, and in the recognition of Christ’s Lordship over all of life.

Academic Integrity

We are committed to providing courses of a high academic standard so that students are taught to read, study, research, analyse, evaluate, critique and write in the fields of theology and ministry.

Personal Growth

We are committed to helping all students develop their full potential in Christ so that they are equipped to serve God to the best of their ability, with the gifts the Spirit has given them.

Spiritual Community

We are committed to the importance of spiritual community, and we seek to cultivate in the College a community that promotes Christ-like love, honesty, integrity, graciousness, discipline, prayerfulness, and servanthood.
