Shaped by His Word; Serving His World

Brisbane School of Theology (BST) is an interdenominational and evangelical college offering high-quality, Bible-centred theological training in a diverse and supportive community, shaping the whole person for God’s purposes. Aiming for more than simply growing students’ knowledge of theology, BST is developing passionate, capable disciples who use what they know about God’s word to serve him in the church and around the world. BST has an emphasis on preparing students for cross-cultural ministry contexts and actively partners with mission agencies and churches. BST also has a Centre for Asian Christianity that aims to equip and resource Christians for effective contextual ministry and mission to Asian people, and is approved to deliver some courses in Chinese language. Christians of different cultures, ages and denominations make up the BST community and have done for more than 70 years. There are a number of core Christian truths that BST teaches with great passion and live by with conviction. There are also many secondary issues that aren’t at the centre of the gospel, and in those areas BST believes it is important to expose students to different viewpoints and to encourage intelligent and prayerful reflection. If this sounds like a community you want to be part of then please explore further and contact BST.
