Our role at Royal Priest College of Divinity and Humanity is to bring theological education and ministerial training to people who are unable or unwilling to attend a centralized higher education institution.

But, more profoundly, while we admire and endorse the efforts of traditional Bible Colleges and Seminaries, we are deeply committed to the concept of training people within the walls of their own local church, and to the provision of excellent teaching material and study options for Christians everywhere. We treat the entire local church environment as part of our educational activity: its worship, its witness, its fellowship, its teaching; its ministry – are all reckoned to be part of the training process of equipping men and women to serve Christ.

Our function is simply to add a theological and academic resource that few churches can viably provide, while leaving the practical training in ministry to the local pastor. Underlying the way in which we present our materials, and the kinds of assessment we employ, there is an educational philosophy based upon the following principles.
