There is always lots going on at Nazarene Theological College

Opening doors to full time study in the UK.
Ten years ago, after changes to British Visa controls suddenly meant that NTC and other theological colleges could no longer welcome full-time international students and their families, we argued strongly that this was a short sighted and misguided: thankfully it’s all changed!

This year, NTC, approved by the new ‘Office for Students’ as a ’registered provider’, is under new regulations. We are once again on the same ground as Universities, which acts as one more sign of the College’s excellence in all kinds of ways. This is particularly good news for our postgraduate students, at MA and PhD level.

Giving glory to God for what He is doing through his Church
In September 2018, as part of my placement, I started a pioneer chaplaincy role in a primary school in Wigan. I felt called to start a prayer group – via Chatterbox – and teach young people to pray. Teachers and pupils took to this idea with enthusiasm and now there are prayer stations throughout each classroom and in the corridors.

I then invited members of the local church to get involved in the prayer group and to organise a prayer event, provide a listening ear and organise weekly assemblies. Since the local church has been involved there has been an increase in numbers at their family service.

NTC Graduation 2019 will be held on 5 October 2019 at The Whitworth Hall, University of Manchester.

We are delighted to have NTC graduate Dr Carla Sunberg (PhD) as our guest speaker. Dr. Sunberg was elected 43rd general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene at the 29th General Assembly in Indianapolis, Indiana, in June 2017. At the time of her election, Dr. Sunberg was president of Nazarene Theological Seminary, where she had been serving since January 2014.

We Give Everything

Dr Julie Lunn’s new book published
Nazarene Theological College (NTC) would like to congratulate Revd Julie Lunn for the December 2018 publication of The Theology of Sanctification and Resignation in Charles Wesley’s Hymns published by Routledge.

“This book is the fruit of six years of study for my PhD, and then a further year of adaptation and fresh writing. The book is about the link, particularly found in Charles Wesley’s poetic texts, between the concepts – and experience – of the resignation of the believer to God and the believer’s sanctification through the grace of God. The book is primarily a theological study of Charles’ texts, and the themes which emerge associated with resignation and sanctification; the last chapter however, addresses these concepts in a twenty-first century context.”
