Message from the Dean

Written by Revd Russell Winfield; Dean of St Mellitus College

We train people who are passionate about the gospel, called to serve Jesus Christ, and are energised by the life of the Spirit and the unity of the Church.

St Mellitus College is a place of hope, energy, and commitment to the gospel. We have pioneered creative approaches to training that enable Christians to explore their faith deeply whilst remaining rooted in the Church.

My days as a student at St Mellitus College challenged and strengthened my faith, with the space to broaden my intellectual horizons. I was able to read widely, to interact with a stimulating and diverse group of staff and students, and to ground my learning in the context of mission and community.

We welcome an increasingly diverse group of students who desire to listen to the Spirit and deepen their understanding of God, His word and His world. We focus on leadership development, spiritual formation and the shaping of Christian character.

This is a place of prayer and worship where you will develop friendships and networks which will sustain and resource you.

Those who study at St Mellitus College may serve in a range of contexts; from different backgrounds, cultures and traditions, but all are committed to love and serve Christ. This is a place of prayer and worship where you will develop friendships and networks which will sustain and resource you.

Our model of training combines theology with practice, enabling students to apply their learning directly to their workplaces, churches and communities. We will equip you to grow in your relationship with God, deepen your understanding of faith, and develop your ability to communicate that faith to others. We train people who are passionate about the gospel, called to serve Jesus Christ, and are energised by the life of the Spirit and the unity of the church.
