Worldview Centre For Intercultural Studies

Worldview is a training centre located in picturesque Northern Tasmania. We’re about living and working together, expressing and experiencing our values of discipleship, community, diligence and praxis. We offer accredited courses to better prepare you for ministry and mission. These courses, in conjunction with living and doing life as a community, provide invaluable training for cross-cultural work, wherever that may be. In short: we are a Christ-centred discipleship community, training for cross-cultural ministry.

We offer a cross-cultural ministry learning experience like no other. Operating in partnership with the Melbourne School of Theology, we deliver courses of the Australian College of Theology. The content of those courses is delivered by practitioners who all have mission experience. We are wholly and completely committed to equipping people for God’s mission in the world and many of our graduates go on to full-time ministry with a range of mission agencies.

Studying at Worldview means you have a range of award possibilities, depending on your needs. We are residentially based and offer courses taught by qualified teachers who not only understand the theoretical implications of living and working cross-culturally, but have experienced first hand the realities of what it means to do so.

Speaking from experience, we are convinced that a crucial part of cross-cultural training is doing life with others. Books and class experience are integral to our training, but life in community provides the kind of self-awareness, cross-cultural appreciation and team dynamics you can’t obtain any other way. If you are serious about working cross-culturally then you will inevitably face the prospect of working with others who see things and behave differently than you do. For this reason eating and working together as part of our daily rhythm goes hand in hand with academic studies.

Worldview offers a cross-cultural ministry learning experience like no other. The content of our courses is prepared and delivered by specialists in the field. Our students come from all around the world. And the residential context for our learning community delivers multi-cultural life right to your door. We have a lot of fun doing what we do, but we’re serious about this: Jesus has asked us to take His good news to all people and Christians need to be prepared for the challenges that this work brings. That’s where Worldview comes in. Worldview’s mission is to equip the global church to make disciples of all nations.
