Ridley Melbourne Mission & Ministry College

Mission / Objective

Ridley maintains a high standard of evangelical scholarship that builds our students' faith and expands their minds. Recent developments allow us to provide specialist training for church planters, emerging leaders and Anglican ordinands, as well as those in children's and youth ministry, pastoral work, chaplaincy and missions. We are well placed to equip people to serve in an increasingly challenging ministry context. We also take the formation of our students very seriously, and equip people and help develop their character through mentoring, worship, small group and a range of other extra-curricular activities. We seek to form future leaders who can work collaboratively, take risks and respond creatively to their ministry context.

Ridley is a residential educational institution with on site residential accommodation available for some students enrolled in our own courses. We particularly welcome enquiries from interstate or overseas students who want to live on campus.

Bequests can be directed to a specific area of Ridley Melbourne Mission and Ministry College Eg: College buildings and facilities | A scholarship or bursary | Training ministers and/or ordinands | Faculty salaries or professional development | Training for missionaries | Training school chaplains and/or youth-children’s workers. Or a named fund, remaining intact in perpetuity. Please feel free to discuss the matter with me should you wish. You can contact me on phone 9207 4800 ext 904 or via email a.crane@ridley.edu.au We do suggest that you seek your own legal advice in relation to this matter. While we will endeavour to cover the relevant issues, we please ask you to use appropriate resources.

General Donations

Ridley is equipping men and women for the challenges of post-Christian Australia. As we do, we look to God for wisdom, courage and guidance. Did you know that student fees cover only half the cost and unlike universities we do not receive government funding. We rely on donations to cover the shortfall in education costs. Your donations make a real difference and ensure that we can continue to provide high quality training into the future.
