Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC) |
Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC) is the oldest interdenominational Bible college in Australia and enjoys a reputation for sound biblical and theological education.
The primary concern of the College is to teach the Bible, the Word of God, so students may grow in their knowledge of and love for our Saviour Jesus Christ. A key focus of the College is to train people for gospel ministry within multicultural Australia or overseas in a missionary context.
The college is held in a high regard by the Christian community. Its purpose is:
Bible Centred: The curriculum is centred by the Bible, since effective ministry requires a knowledge of God through study, consideration, and obedience to the Scriptures;
Interdenominational in Character: Students, faculty and board members represent various denominational allegiances, and although lecturing staff inevitably reflect their own position, they endeavour to encourage mutual understanding and respect for differing denominational viewpoints;
Cross Culturally Oriented: This is a missionary training college focused on the needs of the whole world, with missiologists on the faculty to prepare students for ministry across cultural boundaries;
Concerned for the Heart as well as the Head: It is a concern of faculty that in addition to a knowledge of doctrine, students enjoy a conscious, dynamic relationship with God and with His people.
Community Based: Although some students live off campus, up to 100 students live on campus. We believe there is value in learning within the close fellowship of campus life; half of the faculty also live on campus. An international community: approximately 5-10 per cent of students are from overseas, with the balance representing multicultural Australia.
Our goals for our students are clear. They will be gospel focused. They will be people of bold conviction. They will be people who have a heart for mission. They will be people of warmth and love. They will be fired by a zeal for Gods honour.
