Moving through a study of Biblical Interpretation will equip you as a Christian leader with the ministry tools to 'feed' yourself and others with the 'meat' of the Scriptures.
Study of Biblical Interpretation will be an excellent opportunity to work with a gifted Trainer and an enthusiastic class. The subject will be available in class at the South Brisbane Training Centre for credit or as audit study, or via a skype connection (on-line). Contact the Trainer, Gordon Kuss, to enrol or to speak about this great opportunity to expland your understanding and application of the Bible.

To build a solid Christian faith we need solid foundations. An examination of Genesis 1-11 will give you a grounding for who you are as God's creation, your need for forgiveness and an insight into the plan and mercy of God.
Commencing on Monday the 18th February 2013 and continuing for a further five Mondays until late April, Biblical Foundations is a study of some of the most significant chapters in the Bible. Available as a Diploma subject within the Kingsley Community Diploma, the subject is also available for audit students and connection via skype to the Melbourne class. Contact the Kingsley Australia office on (03) 9357 3699 or 0423 127 199 to enrol or to enquire further.

Early Wednesday morning, 19th September 2012, Dr Jim Ridgway went to hear the words of his Saviour saying, "Well done, good and faithful servant".
Dr Jim loved to tell the story of how he was the second student to enroll into the Wesleyan Methodist Bible College (now Kingsley College) in 1949. He went on to become Principal for two terms; 1961-1966 and 1972-1984. As well as serving as Principal, Dr Jim taught at the college for many decades. His teaching in Kingsley's vocational program continued into the first semester of 2012. Dr Jim's teaching shaped the theology and ministry outlook of thousands of Kingsley College students. He will be sadly missed. 
On Wednesday evening, 26th September 2012, a memorial service will be held to farewell and honour Dr Jim. Please join Melva, the Ridgway family and many hundreds of friends in thanking God for the life and ministry of Dr Jim.  A memorial/celebration service will be held at 6:30pm at the Cross Culture Church of Christ auditorium, located at 333 Swanston Street (use the Swanston street glass door entrance).

Please join us in the chapel hall afterwards for light refreshments.
