Sara has been on the staff team at the College since 2014 and currently serves as Academic Dean, Tutor, and Senior Lecturer in Theology & the Arts.
Dr Sara Schumacher (Interim Dean): "It's an honour to serve the College at this time. We look forward to all that God is going to do in this new season."
We wish to express our deep gratitude to Russell Winfield, whose faithful leadership, steady guidance, and wholehearted investment in our community have been an immense gift. We will continue to share updates on the Principal search in the months ahead. Thank you for your prayers and support as we move forward together with hope and expectation.
