Mission

We endeavor to provide degree level theological training to those who are unable to study full-time. In so doing we aim to equip Christians with a solid Biblical base in facing and answering challenges in ministry and everyday life.

History

Since its inception in 1980, the Hatfield Training Centre has used educational materials from Global University and maintained a strong relationship with them as the International Correspondence Institute (ICI) evolved through the years into Global University

Philosophy of Training

Correspondence based training is ideal for those who are working and for whom full-time study is not a possibility. Students are given the ideal opportunity to study from home and be involved in a local church. We strongly encourage all our correspondence students to inform their local pastors/ministers of their studies and to be actively involved in the life of their local church.

Culture

Correspondence courses from Global University are designed to be studied by extension. These studies provide the option of furthering your theological education in your local context. Many people from every walk of life have taken these courses and qualified themselves to better understand and answer personal and societal questions.
