Trinity College Queensland – Central Queensland

Welcome to Trinity College Queensland, a learning community that supports the pursuit of honest answers to tough questions about Christian faith, the Bible, theology, philosophy, mission, and ethics.

Our faculty aims to bring theological education alongside the challenges posed by a modern contemporary understanding of the world. TCQ is committed to pursuing excellence in teaching and learning, research, and high standards of scholarship, evidenced by the publications listed on our faculty bio pages. In addition to providing you with a thorough grounding in biblical literature, theology, and the history of Christian thought, we focus on helping you to relate the Bible to everyday life, offering classes in preaching, pastoral care, youth and children’s ministry, and media in ministry mission. We aspire to graduate people who can communicate the Word of God clearly and authentically within the workplace, the local church, and in everyday life. We also support those who come with no more than their deepest questions.

Our college is easy to reach by public transport. We’re within a stone’s throw of Auchenflower train station, and less than 15 minutes’ walk to public bus stops and the Regatta Ferry terminal. Alternatively, it’s not difficult to find parking in the surrounding streets.

Trinity provides access to one of Queensland’s best resourced theological library. Our library maintains a theological collection of over 27 thousand titles. It is open to the public 9am–5pm Monday–Friday, with extended opening hours for students.

Our faculty is deeply convinced about the basic teachings of the Christian faith. We stand in the mainstream of a long tradition that, for us, too, works well at explaining the world and helping us negotiate it in a way that brings life, light, joy, harmony, and productivity.

Trinity College Queensland welcomes—and encourages—searching questions about the Christian faith. The faculty are not interested in creating clones of themselves, but rather in equipping students and candidates for ministry with a toolbox for critical thinking and missional action, and with the skills to provide pastoral care and navigate for navigating complex theological issues.

In order to effectively engage the skepticism that is so rampant (and sometimes warranted) in Aussie society, Trinity seeks to ensure that our students understand not only the truth of the biblical story, but also the reasons people have for their doubts. Therefore, in our classes, we aim to illuminate not only the substance of historic, orthodox Christianity, but also the obstacles that stand between unbelief and a life-giving faith in the person of Jesus.

Trinity College Queensland is a theological institution of the Uniting Church in Australia, a movement within the Reformed and Evangelical tradition. The College’s values, mission, and ethos are governed by the vision set out in the Basis of Union.

We deliver undergraduate and postgraduate courses in partnership with the Australian College of Theology.
