From the Principal

We’re thrilled to be part of this project! Our proposal, draws scientific study into our core teaching in spirituality and cultural engagement, taking us beyond the traditional apologetic focus on these questions. This will feed through all the courses offered across the College, benefitting all our student cohorts through the different licensed ministry pathways and independent study. Further details to follow! You can find out more here: https://www.eclasproject.org/science-for-seminaries…/…

We are currently following measures designed to combat the spread of COVID-19. From now on, our teaching will move online and all students and staff should consult ‘Moodle’ to find more information (log in at the bottom of this page).

You can attend all or part of these West Malling Friday teaching days, sitting in on classes, meeting with staff, attending Chapel worship and chatting with students over lunch. This is a great way of getting a feel for what we do and how you might flourish at the college.  In the spring term you are welcome to come along to Church History; Christian Doctrine; New Testament Studies; and Further Old Testament Studies (MA level)
