The training department exists to bring a greater level of purpose and intentionality to the practical outworking of the training provided for each student.
Though we cannot provide individualised training for each one of our students, the training department, along with other key departments within the College, seeks to ensure that every student is encouraged to understand their God-shaped personality, to discover their God-given talents and to live in their God-ordained destiny. Our ambition is to connect with our students as they join us and walk with them through their journey of development and growth, for however long they stay with us. We aim to do this through personality profile, by looking at their gifts and aspirations and providing as much practical opportunity for function, thus allowing purpose to come to the fore.

In Luke 2:52, it says of the Lord Jesus that he 'grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and people'. In other words, he matured mentally, physically, spiritually and socially.
On the campus of Mattersey Hall and beyond, we seek to provide an atmosphere for such growth to take place in the life of every person who chooses to study with us. We believe that the heart is as important as the head - and the outside of the classroom is as important as the inside.

Most weekdays commence with student-led worship and ministry in the chapel. The Wednesday morning chapel service is extended to an hour and a half to make more room for lively, enthusiastic worship, the exercise of spiritual gifts and encouraging ministry from faculty and visiting speakers. In the second semester, one of the morning chapel services is replaced by small mentoring groups led by faculty and staff members.
Lectures then take place throughout the morning (ordinarily you will spend approximately 15 hours of the week in the classroom). Afternoon and evening activities include additional lectures, master classes and prayer groups, but there is still plenty of time for private study, recreational activities and for you to get involved
