Our core Values
Seeking Truth
мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע seeks to kindle a love of truth in every student and in every academic discipline. Faith calls us to seek understanding through learning, teaching, scholarship, and a rich cultivation of the life of the mind for the common good.
Centred on Christ
мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע is committed to the person of Jesus Christ, who reveals both God’s nature and the image of restored humanity. Our college community seeks to embody the pattern of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection through worship, service, and mission for the common good.
Founded on God’s Word
мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע is committed to Scripture as the ultimate foundation of Christian life, thought, and social engagement. Our college community builds on this foundation as we seek to integrate faith, learning, and service for the common good.
Cultivating Community
мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע celebrates the rich diversity of human beings as unique bearers of God’s image. Through a sharing of diverse gifts and graces, our college community seeks to cultivate human flourishing for the sake of the common good.
Vision and Values

мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²ÊͶע was founded in 1986 by the International Network of Churches (INC), formerly known as Christian Outreach Centre, and was a vision birthed by Order of Australia recipient, Emeritus Professor Brian Millis, who sought to re-imagine how people think about human flourishing, vocation, calling and the integration of faith and learning across a range of disciplines and fields of study.
