WESLEY
MA Alumnus
“The Master of Arts course was probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever signed up for. It taught me to value research, appreciate opposing views and where to find good answers. More than anything it humbled me to stay teachable by realising how much I didn’t know and I’m grateful for that.”
Angela
MA Student
“With the majority of my life as a non-Christian, being a married mum of three children and balancing a high-pressure career in advertising, never did I see myself undertaking a Master of Arts in Christian studies. But like my faith, it was the best decision I have ever made in discovering my life’s purpose.”
Daniel
MTh Alumnus
“I knew that community was essential in the pursuit of my Master’s in Theology. Not only to explore and develop robust theology together but to be the interpersonal anchor to press forward in life. The community of friends, teachers, mentors and ministry teams I have gained through Hillsong College and Hillsong Church have deeply impacted me through good conversation and loving confrontation.”
