Vision for the 21st century

We live in both exciting and challenging times. The world has changed almost beyond recognition since 1924, when Rees Howells opened his first training college. Globalisation has arrived; we can communicate in split seconds with people anywhere in the world and we can travel almost anywhere we wish . The world is more accessible than ever before.

Our strategy for this century is to continue training in the UK, whilst at the same time increasing our investment in local, overseas training - particularly in parts of the world where the church is poorly resourced.

All UK training now takes place in a new, designed-for-purpose, non-residential centre in Rugby, Warwickshire. This location gives excellent access to many parts of the country and is called Trinity School of Theology.

We are also looking to increase the amount we invest in overseas training. This will see us continue to focus on our training partners in Southern Africa and India. In due course, we will look to increase our investment in partnerships we have in the Far East and other parts of the world.
