Melbourne School of Theology is a non-denominational Bible college based in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Since 1920, MST has been passionate about training men and women with a solid grounding in God’s Word. MST works closely with local churches, mission and para-church organisations to provide practical ministry and cross-cultural experience for students seeking to serve God in their church, workplace, or abroad. While a range of Distance subjects are available, MST also aims to create a strong sense of community on-campus in order to build one another up as the Body of Christ.
