What is the mission of Queens College of Theology?
Learn how Queens College of Theology fulfills its calling to prepare competent, compassionate, and biblically grounded leaders for the Church.
Overview
The mission of Queens College of Theology (QCT) is rooted in a commitment to the authority of Scripture and the call to prepare faithful servants of Christ. We exist to supply the Church with leaders of competence, character, and spiritual maturity—men and women trained holistically to lead lives of eternal impact.
Our mission is not merely academic; it is missional. We believe theological education should equip students not only with knowledge but with the wisdom and humility to make the Church more inclusive, the world more compassionate, and the Gospel more accessible.
Our Mission Statement
Queens College of Theology is committed to:
“Supplying the Church with leaders of competence, character, and spiritual maturity; holistically trained to lead lives of eternal impact by fulfilling the Lord’s mission, while dedicating themselves to making the Church more inclusive for all.”
This mission guides every policy, every class, and every conversation at QCT. It shapes our approach to academics, our culture of inclusivity, and our dedication to ministry training.
How We Fulfill Our Mission
We fulfill our mission through four primary commitments:
1. Scriptural Authority
We uphold the Bible as the foundation for all teaching and practice. Every course and program is designed under the authority of Scripture, ensuring theological soundness and spiritual depth.
2. Accessible Education
We strive to make Christian education affordable and attainable for all who are called to ministry. Through low-cost options, we remove financial barriers so that more students can answer their calling without debt.
3. Holistic Formation
True ministry leadership involves both the mind and the heart. Our programs balance academic rigor with spiritual formation—cultivating wisdom, empathy, and discernment.
4. Inclusive Ministry Preparation
We believe the Church reflects the Kingdom of God when it embraces diversity. QCT’s curriculum and community are intentionally inclusive, inviting students from a variety of denominations, theological traditions, and cultural backgrounds.
