Welcome to Luther King Centre

Welcome to the Luther King Centre for Theology and Ministry! Inspired by Martin Luther King’s vision of equality, justice and peace, we are a theological college (or bible college) centred on theological learning, exploring the Christian faith, and discerning how it can be transformative in our world today.

We seek to welcome all and will help you find the right course for you. Among our diverse community are those who are preparing for ordained ministry through one of our key partner colleges, and many others preparing or resourcing themselves for mission, ministry or who want to deepen their understanding of our shared faith.
