        John Wycliffe Theological College  Training Men for Gospel Ministry

Men from any church background may apply. Our aim is to provide training for Christian men in whom we discern a call from God to the pastoral ministry.

Our task is focused and exclusive. We neither provide general Christian education nor view theological study as an end in itself. Rather, we are engaged in specialized theological disciplines, which equip men to accurately understand, powerfully preach, and pastorally apply the Word of God to his people. Therefore, all courses are relevant to pastoral ministry.

Our labours are spiritual and academic. Only men who deeply love the Lord and his people can effectively teach theology at the College. This devotion must be a priority over the possession of both an expert knowledge of God's truth and the ability to communicate it. Students must develop similarly in these areas, which are intimately connected to the qualifications for the ministry (See 1 Tim 3:1-7).
