“The standard of teaching at St Augustine’s is second to none and the staff are very accessible, approachable and supportive – and so are my fellow students.”
Barry Knott
Alumnus of St Augustine’s and Curate of Canterbury Diocese
“Formation grows people up faster than anything else; it stretches them and pushes them into shapes they didn’t know they could have. One of the discoveries they make along the way is that stretching doesn’t break them, it develops them.”
Rev Emma Ham-Riche
St Augustine’s ordinand
The power of formation
You may have heard the word “formation” used by us to describe both the experience and outcome of your theological studies.
Formation is an intentional, personal development journey you will undertake to become more Christ-like.
Formation is deep work. Interacting closely with others with differing backgrounds and perspectives will allow you to shape your beliefs, desires and hopes – as well as develop your knowledge, understanding and critical skills.
At St Augustine’s, we provide the space, challenge and opportunity for you to flourish in your journey to be who God has created you to be.
