Are you considering a future in ministry or mission? Or perhaps you’re looking to deepen your understanding of Scripture and grow in your faith? Whatever your path, Melbourne School of Theology offers courses designed to equip and transform you!
Why come to an open event?
Whatever stage you’re at – just dipping a toe, starting to explore, or committed to finding some training – or you’re a church leader wanting to find out more about what goes on here – we’d love you to come to an Open Event so we can share our vision for training, introduce you to some students, and give you a glimpse into life at MST. Our Open Events are designed to help you think about the importance of theological training for ministry and to discover how we prepare people for the broad and deep demands of ministry.
