St John's Theological College

Welcome to St John's Theological College, an esteemed institution located at 210 Saint Johns Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As a point of interest and university, we are dedicated to providing a transformative educational experience rooted in the Five Marks of Mission of the Anglican Church.

The Five Marks of Mission guide our mission and purpose. They include seeking to transform unjust structures of society, challenging violence of every kind, pursuing peace and reconciliation, safeguarding the integrity of creation, and sustaining and renewing the life of the earth. These principles shape our curriculum and inspire our graduates to make a positive impact on the world.

At St John's Theological College, we are committed to fostering bicultural Treaty-based relationships in a three-Tikanga context. Our graduates are nurtured to grow spiritually as disciples of Jesus Christ and develop as reflective practitioners. They become biblically literate individuals who confidently integrate the teachings of the Bible into everyday contexts. Additionally, our students become theological thinkers, critically reflecting upon scripture, tradition, reason, and experience while engaging with imagination and humility. They also become bicultural partners, gaining a deep understanding of reo and tikanga, and appreciating the mana of different cultural expressions of the faith.

We take pride in our diverse and inclusive community, which is centered around worship, prayer, and personal growth. Situated in Meadowbank, Auckland, our college serves as a gathering place for individuals from various backgrounds, celebrating the richness of our differences.
