SENT is a one-year experience that equips participants to serve as leaders and core team members for new communities of faith, within our rapidly changing world. It is for anyone who isn’t simply interested in “content download” but wants to be trained in an environment where practical application, relevant experience, and formation are crucial for learning.

Study Modes and Academic Credit

SENT is a part-time year-long programme, which begins in February each year. Flexible delivery options are available, including on-campus, livestream and self-directed fully online options (for three of the four units).

If you wish to study for academic credit you can enrol in the units listed below, including them as part of an award offered by the Australian College of Theology and delivered by Morling College. For information on the entry requirements and course structures of these awards please follow the links below.

If you study at undergraduate level you can include these four units (along with additional units to complete the course requirements) as part of an Undergraduate Certificate of Ministry or Diploma of Ministry or continue with further study to complete a longer award such as an Associate Degree of Ministry or a Bachelor of Ministry.

If you study at postgraduate level you can complete these four units and graduate with a Graduate Certificate of Divinity, or continue with further study to complete a longer award such as a Graduate Diploma of Divinity, a Master of Theological Studies, a Master of Ministry or a Master of Divinity.

Alternatively, if you don't wish to complete assignments and gain academic credit, you can participate in the programme as an Audit student.
