What a joy it was to celebrate the graduation of our students from Melbourne School of Theology and Eastern College Australia 🎓✨

Recently, we gathered as one community to recognise the hard work, perseverance, and growth of our graduands. Two colleges, one community, united by a shared passion for learning, formation, and serving God.

From lectures and late-night assignments to friendships, formation, and ministry preparation this milestone represents so much more than a qualification.

We are deeply thankful for each student and the unique calling God has placed on their lives. It has been a privilege to walk alongside you during your studies, and we look forward to seeing how God continues to lead and use you in your communities, churches, workplaces, and ministries.

Congratulations, Class of 2025, we are so proud of you! 👏

What a great day at Open Day! ☀️

From coffee and conversations on arrival, to worship in Chapel, a fascinating talk with Dr. Andrew Brown, morning tea, and breakout sessions, it was such a special opportunity to give future students a glimpse into life at Eastern College Australia.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today. We loved having you on campus and hope you left with a real sense of the community, learning, and faith that shape Eastern.

PS. We can’t wait to welcome everyone coming to Open Night tonight from 5pm–7pm! There’s still time to register at eastern.edu.au/openday
