At NTC we’re passionate about helping the Bible and theology be alive and accessible to people from all walks of life and all backgrounds. We believe that everyone can thrive in learning and that in a supportive and hospitable environment people can do more than they’d ever imagined. Our whole team longs to see people flourish. We have a diverse community – in nationality, denomination, backgrounds, beliefs and practices, and so we’re not a place of uniformity, instead, studying here stretches, challenges and helps people deepen their understanding. We seek to display the Kingdom of God breaking in- on earth as it is in heaven.

Our oldest motto – by the visionaries who started the College – was ‘Scholarship on Fire!’ The combination of Spirit-led passion for plunging into study of the Word and the world, and the importance of deep, purposeful learning that hones and shapes our lives to serve God with integrity wherever we are called still drives us. We are a college that seeks to practise what we preach – we try to cultivate an atmosphere of generosity, curiosity, challenging people to deepen their faith and engage in lives of holy-living. Becoming closer to God shapes our community life – we regularly pray and worship alongside each other, gather as a community in our ‘coffee’ time (other drinks are available), and our lecturers have open doors – inviting students to come and question, talk, laugh, cry, and share life’s blessings and trials.

So, friends, feel free to come… experience us, join us, participate alongside us, engage with our lecturers, plunge into scholarship on fire, join the journey towards Christ-likeness in a community of faithful learning – we are disciples together.
