Christ College, Sydney

Since 2017, we have welcomed couples and families like Caleb and Josie to live in our student accommodation (Clarence House) during their studies.

In total, we have supported 57 students with accommodation in this time. Of those, 15 have gone on to serve as ministers in the Presbyterian Church of Australia, and two have gone back to New Zealand to serve as ministers.

This June, we're highlighting stories from Christ College students to show how Building Fund donations have impacted their lives.

Will you partner with us this End of Financial Year?

Over a week in April, Christ College students had the opportunity to complete the highly anticipated intensive unit, ‘Intro to Biblical Theology’ with Murray Smith and Nancy Guthrie

The intensive unit took students through a closer look at some of the major themes throughout Scripture.

Thank you Murray and Nancy for such a blessed week of studying God’s word.

Your contribution to the Building Fund has a direct effect on students, providing them with the essential opportunity to pursue their theological studies in person at Christ College.

Christians all around Australia and overseas have a desire to study in-person at Christ College. But without student accommodation, the pathway to in-person study becomes significantly harder for those from regional areas, interstate or overseas.

The availability of student accommodation at Christ College was the key factor that enabled Lachlan to move from Orange and pursue his studies in person.

“It's made a huge difference for me, especially to be able to make the move and commit to studying… it would have been really hard without it.”

While Lachlan was blessed with this opportunity, his experience isn’t one every student can easily access.

With a current capacity of only nine student accommodation units, we face limitations in housing future students.

Your donation means our campus, including student accommodation, can remain a resource for ministry formation.

The Nicene Creed has shaped the church for 1700 years. But do we really know what it means?

Heavenly Father, as the students enter exams next week, help them to maintain focus, clarity and energy.

Lord, please help them to recall what they learned, steward their time well, and to rest in your unending grace.

Thank you for providing these students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of you.

We pray that as they continue in their studies they will draw closer to you.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

We invite you to join us this End of Financial Year by contributing to the Building Fund, as we seek to raise $80,000 together.

A theological college isn’t just a collection of ideas – it’s a physical place. Whether it’s the library that houses our resources, the lecture rooms where knowledge is formed and character is forged, or the student housing that makes living in Sydney affordable... your gift means that our entire campus can remain a resource for ministry formation.

Your gift to the Building Fund ensures the door stays open and the lights stay on.
