Christ for all of life

Christ College exists to glorify God by providing leaders for God’s church and its gospel-centred mission in the world, enabling God’s people to live for Christ in all of life.  We are committed to God’s mission and his church, reformed theology, and providing fit-for-purpose leaders for his church through transformative and applied theological education for adult learners.

Centrally located at Burwood in Sydney’s inner-west, we have over 200 students studying a range of courses from Diploma, Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees right through to Postgraduate Research in a mixture of both Full-Time and Part-Time study modes.
