Worldview Centre

Cross-cultural training in a discipleship community

Welcome to Worldview

Worldview is delivery site of Melbourne School of Theology, located in picturesque Northern Tasmania.  We’re a residential campus focusing on training for cross-cultural ministry.

An experience like no other

As an approved delivery location for Melbourne School of Theology (also known as MST), Worldview’s residential community is about living and studying alongside others who might see things differently than ourselves, focusing on discipleship and cross-cultural ministry preparation.

MST is wholly and completely committed to equipping God’s people with transformational theology, biblical depth, and a missional heart to effectively communicate the Gospel of Christ to a diverse and changing world.


Study

Studying with MST means you have a range of award possibilities, depending on your needs.

Worldview Centre for Intercultural Studies does not offer externally accredited study, but we recommend that you visit MST, an affiliated college of Australian College of Theology (ACT).

Worldview is an approved delivery location for MST.  For information about accredited courses on offer at Worldview through MST, click below.


Community

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.

Discipleship Culture

We’re passionate about building a discipleship culture.

Rhythms of Worship and Prayer

Our daily attention is on Jesus, talking and listening to him.

Eating and Working Together

We’re about eating and working together and we do this each day as part of living on a large communal property.

Short Courses

Want to sit in on a class?  Join us for a day or for the duration of a short course that interests you.

 

What is a Short Course?

We call a Short Course a unit (also known as a “subject”) that you don’t have to complete for credit towards an award in the same way an enrolled student would.  Instead, you can participate in classes and engage in the content without having to do the assessments.

Short Courses vary from season to season.  Read more to see what we’re offering in 2020.
