What makes Moorlands College distinctive?
We have a holistic approach to transformative theological education and training, believing that the evidence of growth in knowledge and spirituality is seen in practice. We are about Christian theology applied. We have consistently achieved high ratings, for example, our National Student Survey scores have been 100% in 2020 and 96% in 2021 for overal satisfaction, and we offer flexible training from non-HE through to post-graduate studies.
