MST (Melbourne School of Theology)

This morning at Chapel, our community gathered for such a special time of worship, fellowship and morning tea.

We were honoured to welcome Petr Jašek from The Voice of the Martyrs as our guest speaker. His powerful message was both challenging and deeply inspiring, encouraging us to remember those who are persecuted for their faith and to use our own voices to stand with others.

“We can be the voice of the voiceless people.”

We are very grateful to Petr for sharing his remarkable story and message with our community

This morning at Chapel, we heard a timely message from Dr Andrew Brown and enjoyed a special time of worship and fellowship together.

We’re so grateful for these moments with our students and staff, to connect, pray for one another, encourage each other and simply enjoy being together as a community. 🙏

Meet the MST community👋

Meet Dr Kirk Franklin, Lecturer in Missional Leadership at MST.

Kirk brings decades of experience in global mission, intercultural engagement and leadership. After growing up in Papua New Guinea, he served in media, communications and executive leadership roles with Wycliffe, including 12 years as Executive Director of the Wycliffe Global Alliance.

Today, Kirk draws on this experience through his research and teaching, helping students explore mission, collaboration and leadership across cultures.

We’re grateful to have Kirk as part of the MST community!

This morning, we were privileged to hear from Dr Daniel D. Lee as he explored the theme, “Family as Calling and Context for Formation”.

It was an enriching session on the intersection of ministry, family and spiritual formation, reminding us that leadership is not simply about balancing competing priorities.

It is about allowing God to shape both our public ministry and our private relationships as part of one unified calling.

Thank you, Dr Lee, for sharing your wisdom with our community.

Chapel, worship, morning tea and Soup Day, what a great way to spend the day together! ✨

Our Melbourne School of Theology & Eastern College Australia communities gathered for Chapel, where we heard from our guest speaker, Dr. Daniel Lee.

We were also delighted to welcome some of our mission partners to campus.

It was a fun and encouraging day filled with worship, meaningful conversations and plenty of delicious soup!

It was wonderful to have our MST and Eastern College Australia students together on campus today.

We worshipped together, heard some exciting announcements (spoiler alert: they involve ☕ and 📚) and were encouraged by a powerful message from our Acting Co-Executive Principal, Andrew Pham.

Chapel was followed by a wonderful time of connection and conversation over morning tea.

We’re grateful for these opportunities to worship, learn and grow together as a community.
