"The year at College equipped me to be a better informed person. I feel better able to handle the scriptures with more confidence following my year at college.
It was also beneficial for me to spend a year with servant minded staff and students."

Training
Training is the process of laying foundations for Christian service. We believe that a purely academic training won’t do because the contents of such an education are usually not sufficiently connected to the realities at the cutting edge of Christian service. While academic training in theology does have an important place most Christians need and want training in “applied” theology. However, a very skills oriented training won’t do either. To teach people “know-how” without teaching them “know-why” short changes them. In ministry we need to know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how to go about it.

At the heart of all of Trinity's training lie three crucial foundations:
Trinity teaches courses that are provided by the Australian College of Theology (ACT), which has been involved in training Christians for over a century. Trinity offers three courses designed to cater for differences in education background while providing a solid, common foundation for Christian service. |

Pastoral Care
An essential expression of Christian faith is caring for the well-being of all persons. At Trinity Theological College this is fostered by the commitment of the teaching staff to be accessible to all students and to be concerned for all students as whole persons. Extensive personal interaction in and around the teaching sessions, in the other weekly parts of the program, in special events like a weekend away and the mission trips, plus regular contact with members of the teaching staff in pastoral care groups, all provides avenues for the exercise of pastoral care and support.
