Principal's welcome

Rev Assoc Professor
Darrell Jackson

Welcome to one of the most energised and genuinely diverse teams of theologians and followers of Jesus that I have yet had the privilege to serve alongside. As the Principal of Whitley College, it’s a delight to welcome you on behalf of our passionate community of educators and researchers.

You may have found your way here as a prospective student, a church leader, or an employer in one of the many faith-based agencies here in Australia. Whoever you are, welcome!

If you’re looking for theological education that stands out from the crowd, you’ll find it here at Whitley, where we strive to be biblical and contextual, faithful and scholarly, Baptist and diverse. If that intrigues you, check out the rest of our site.

We’re here to serve and enable you to fulfil your calling or vocation in those places to which God might be calling you!

I hope that you find what you are looking for and if you need more information, please book a conversation with one of the expert advisors in our Student Services team.
