Our strategy is:

As a Theological Education Institution, we aim for excellence by

  • maintaining the highest standards of teaching and learning, integrating academic learning, ministerial skills and spiritual growth;
  • offering innovative, flexible, accessible and responsive pathways that meet the changing needs of our students, partner dioceses and the wider Church;
  • offering resourcing for ministerial development;
  • maintaining effective leadership, management and operational structures which support financial sustainability.
