Jess commenced as a Year 1 teacher at Calvary Christian College in 2015, having completed the Bachelor of Education (Primary) degree at CHC in 2014. Originally she was attracted to teaching because of its transformative power in children’s lives. As she studied, she realised there was more. “It is also about loving and caring for the children – being their champion and guiding them towards their potential.”

“For me, studying at CHC was like opening a treasure chest: a rich, in-depth learning process where God could birth truth in me and restructure my thinking.

I really appreciate the flexibility that came with studying at CHC, giving me the opportunity to work my study commitments around my work and pastoral commitments.  Completing my degree helped me to find my calling and equipped me to fulfil it.”

“CHC has changed my life, equipped me to step out confidently into the professional world of counselling and carry with me the Christian worldview that was interwoven through every subject.

As I now sit with clients who are journeying through their own stories and seeking their next step, I know that the heart of CHC is being reflected through how I have been shaped by my studies to be a professional counsellor within the community. Being a graduate of CHC I feel that, wherever I go in life, who I have become has been because of the integrity and care that is flowing from this great and impacting college.”

Wendy graduated with a Bachelor of Counselling from Christian Heritage College and now works as a counsellor in a private practice.

When I recommitted my life to the Lord after graduating highschool I radically encountered God and felt the call of God onmy life. After several years of leading in youth and young adultministries I realised I needed to become educated and furtherequipped to steward this calling well.Studying at CHC School of Ministries was transformational,challenging, and so rewarding. The Bachelor of Ministry was aphenomenal blend of theory and practice, and everything I learntwas used to strengthen my leadership and ministry.CHC was a space where my capacity was grown and where I couldnetwork with other young leaders that had the same passion andheart to see our world impacted for good and for God. During mystudies I met and married my beautiful wife, and we have sincebegan pastoring the Citipointe Ipswich Church. CHC has createda strong foundation for both of us as we endeavour to serve Godwith endurance, and are so grateful for the time we set aside toprepare for ministry.

“For me, studying at CHC was like opening a treasure chest: a rich, in-depth learning process where God could birth truth in me and restructure my thinking.  I really appreciate the flexibility that came with studying at CHC, giving me the opportunity to work my study commitments around my work and pastoral commitments.  Completing my degree helped me to find my calling and equipped me to fulfil it.”

“Since commencing study at CHC School of Ministry, I have seen both my personal and ministry life go to the next level.  The course has been the perfect balance of theological study and practical application, which has resulted in real life transformation.

I have seen my intimacy with God deepen, my leadership develop and my understanding of real life ministry expand.

Here at CHC I have developed more than just friends, but ministry partners.  I have engaged with ministry leaders, influencers and engaged with lecturers who are passionate about equipping others for success.”

“Here at CHC, every student is appreciated for the unique person that we are.  I enjoy the flexibility of my degree program as well as the diversity of students from all different cultures and I love how accessible and approachable all of our lecturers are.

My degree has led me to work as a Relationships Counsellor in a not-for-profit organisation that supports healthy relationships in our community.”

“Deciding to undertake a CHC MBA has been one of the best professional decisions I have made in a long time. I have been leading organisations and chairing committees for almost two decades and the CHC MBA has helped me articulate my instinct in these leadership roles. The combination of scholarly and business practitioner material, delivered from a Christian perspective, has challenged some of my established beliefs that would have limited my own effectiveness and influence. I am looking into the next twenty years with fresh eyes. I highly recommend you take the time in 2020 and beyond to invest into yourself and in your leadership this way.”
