World-Class Theological Education

Ridley College provides teaching and training from gifted theologians and ministry practitioners. It combines a firm grasp of the content and meaning of the Scriptures, a comprehensive understanding of theology throughout church history, and practical on-the-ground training for our changing world. Our denominational heritage in Anglicanism shapes our culture and worship, while we welcome people from a diverse range of denominational backgrounds and embrace the richness of various evangelical traditions.

We provide this training and experience through a number of modes. Our on-campus students gather as a community where we learn, pray, study, worship, hear God’s Word together, and care for each other. Online students experience learning differently but still benefit from being part of their online cohort, and from opportunities to grow in their own local contexts.
