As I speak, our students arent here on campus but are away on College mission. This is a regular evangelism training event that we hold here at PTC—because we know that Australians are hurting and lost and facing an eternity without Christ. Therefore, here at PTC, we want to train an increasing number of students for ministry fruitfulness—to be pastors and evangelists and church planters and chaplains and biblical counsellors and women’s workers and so on, to care for God’s people and to reach out to the world in generationally relevant ways.

  • We train for fruitfulness that is relational: with the mind bearing fruit in others, seeking to inculcate the fruit of the Spirit in others, discipling, mentoring, nurturing;
  • We train for fruitfulness that is outward: with Spirit-driven outreach and community engagement, including in church planting settings;
  • We train for fruitfulness that is congregational: seeking to bring God’s vision for developing ministries and revitalisation into congregations; and
  • We train for fruitfulness that is inward and personal—and can be summed up in the word ‘love’, because the fulfilment of the law is love.

We train for fruitfulness while being established in faithfulness:

  • Established in personal faithfulness: with a commitment to serving God, which flows from personal union with the triune God;
  • Established in biblical faithfulness: with a lifelong engagement with the whole counsel of God;
  • Established in historical faithfulness: standing courageously with those who have gone before us within our Christian and reformational and evangelical heritage; and
  • Established in corporate faithfulness: seeking to follow the Church’s call on our lives.

If you would like to know more about PTC—our flexible study options, our online options—our website gives a comprehensive picture of who we are and how we can serve you. Feel free to call or email us. We can arrange a campus tour that will fit within your schedule.

I invite you to consider PTC—training for fruitfulness, established in faithfulness.
