Established in faithfulness
Our units are rigorously Christ-centred and based on Scripture, including one of our specialty fields, biblical counselling. Class sizes are usually small, so you can have real engagement with your lecturers and fellow students. Our lecturers are pastors and counsellors, not trend-driven academics, so your study is people and ministry focussed. With a genuine community feel, you’ll quickly become part of the PTC family.
Equipped with the knowledge of God through reformed evangelical teaching, our students are prepared to seek the Spirit’s power to preach, teach, and minister the gospel of Jesus Christ.
