This applies to students in both the Ordination and Independent track. The cost covers our weekly classes, online learning management system, and library resources (online and physical).

The actual cost of running this course is much greater than what we charge and we are generously supported by donors and partners. If you would like to partner with us financially in equipping the next generation of church leaders, please click here.

Once your application has been submitted, you will receive instructions on the book review and interview. We look forward to your application.

Placement - Ordination applicants only

Students studying with us must be able to practise ministry in their local church or context as an alternative to residential training. The Placement-Based Ordination Training offers a unique opportunity to combine theology with practice. We encourage bi-vocational applicants, as students undertake one half of their learning ‘on the job’ in a local church or mission context, and the other half in the classroom. This allows students to engage in paid employment while learning to relate theology with practice. In addition to being able to engage in ministry on a Sunday, Ordination candidates must also dedicate one day of learning in the classroom (Thursday afternoons and nights).

Do you currently have a potential placement in mind?

If yes, please give the name of the church/organisation in mind
