Donate

For over 100 years, Melbourne School of Theology has faithfully equipped individuals with a heart and passion for the Gospel. This is only made possible each year through the generosity of supporters. While tuition fees cover only 60% of the costs, donations bridge the gap—enabling us to uphold rigorous standards in Theological education and research, and nurture a vibrant, diverse community dedicated to advancing God’s kingdom. Together we can equip the next generation of Gospel workers.
