Rev Dr Christoph Ochs

Academic Dean Launceston Campus, Lecturer

Ribbon

Rev Dr Christoph Ochs

Although German by nationality, he has spent a significant number of years in America, Israel, China, and England, both studying and ministering. Despite climbing the PhD ladder, Christoph attributes his greatest spiritual growth to his year in a small, residential Bible college. His desire is to see this kind of growth happen in the lives of students at the MST Launceston Campus. Christoph is always up for a good theological discussion and even more so if it is over a cup of coffee.

Qualifications

  • PhD, University of Nottingham
  • MA OT Theology
  • PGCert Theological Education
  • BA Bible & Biblical Languages
  • Cert IV in Teaching and Assessment
