Welcome to 2026!

Dear Friends,

A new year always brings with a sense of promise and potential. After a difficult year for BST in 2025, we look forward in hope to the work that God will do at BST in 2026.

As we move forward together into this new season, I want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support of Brisbane School of Theology. Your prayers, generosity, and encouragement continue to play a vital role in shaping the lives of those who are being formed here for ministry, mission, and service.

There is much to be hopeful about. A new cohort of students joins us this week, and we look forward to getting to know them more deeply through the Orientation process and beyond.

We are deeply encouraged by the passion of all our students, the faithfulness of our faculty and staff, and the opportunities before us to equip God’s people for thoughtful, grounded, and Christ-centred engagement with the world. With confidence in God’s leading, we look ahead with expectation, trusting Him to continue His good work among us.

As the Apostle Paul reminds us: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

Thank you for standing with BST as we look to the future. We are grateful to walk this path together, trusting in God’s provision and purposes.

With every blessing,

Robert Edwards
Acting Principal
