Our training aims to expand the heart as well as the mind, and learn what it is to love God in the world today. We believe that theology grows out of and leads back into prayer and worship. The worshipping life of the College is an integral part of our calling. Therefore, all of our programmes take place in the context of worship.
We also follow a cycle of prayer in which we invite you to partner with us as we pray for the college, students, and the wider church.
The College Prayer
God of grace and wisdom, who called your servant Mellitus to leave his home and proclaim your Word; grant to all who belong to the college that bears his name diligence for study, fervour for mission, and perseverance for ministry, that they might shine with your love and truth in these dioceses and beyond, for the sake of your Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen
