We’ve created some great program pathways to provide you with a robust and coherent biblical and theological foundation that is applied to your life and ministry:
Christ College’s Flagship Programs

Course of TrainingThis 4-year program is designed to prepare effective pastoral leaders for vocational ministry in the Presbyterian Church of Australia. It is the approved program of study for Presbyterian candidates for the ministry and can be studied within an Australian College of Theology Award. |
 |
InternshipThis 3-year program developed and coordinated by the Centre for Pastoral Leadership is integrated within the Course of Training to form and equip effective pastoral leaders for God’s church. |
 |
Leadership Development ProgramThis 2-year program developed and coordinated by the Centre for Pastoral Leadership is designed to prepare Christian leaders to lead people like Christ. Building on a distinctive commitment to biblical and theological foundations, contemporary leadership and organisational theory, and practical field-based experience, this unique and specialised program equips leaders to address one of the greatest challenges facing our churches today. The LDP can be studied within an Australian College of Theology award. It is now incorporated within the Internship program, but can still be completed as a standalone program. |
