ALUMNI STORIES

Hannah,

Diploma of Ministry

Engaging a Diploma of Ministry through the College has been an instrumental tool in developing maturity and intimacy in my walk with Jesus. It has brought a health levelling out of my views on spirituality and theology whilst increasing my thirst to know more of who God is through practical application of His word in my life. I have loved every minute of this journey!
