Statement of Support
The establishment of a broad-spectrum, multi-disciplinary Christian University in Australia is long overdue. More than simply a Bible college or theological seminary, this would be a place where students learn to live out their faith in the real world; where they can engage their chosen profession, from engineering to performing arts, with a Biblical worldview; a place where faith and intellect work side by side in the pursuit and practical application of knowledge; where creativity, collaboration, and compassion within the learning community can leave a lasting impact beyond it.
