Our faculty of experienced pastor-theologians are committed to teaching our students theology that deepens their love for Christ, forms their characters and enflames their heart for the lost.

In all we do, we are passionate about and committed to raising up faithful leaders who hold fast the faithful Word and proclaim it wherever Christ calls them.

In this role, you will steward existing partnerships with churches and individuals, and build new ones with others who share our vision to raise up and send out faithful ministers who are rooted in the truth of God’s Word and equipped to serve His Church in the UK and across Europe.
