Christian Spirituality

The Christian Spirituality specialism, offered in partnership with the St Hild Centre for Spirituality, gives you the chance to deepen your study of Christian spiritual traditions. Each year, a range of modules is available, which you can take as freestanding courses or as part of a pathway towards a Durham University award.

This intro should be around 4-10 lines long when you’re editing it on a large screen. That will ensure that the image is a good height.

  • We draw our inspiration from the first Christians to share the gospel in Britain and especially St Hild (c. 614-680AD). 
  • Our college life is geared to help people listen for the Spirit and join the work of the kingdom in their own contexts.
  • We have an expansive view of mission that constantly enlarges our horizons. For us, this means helping to make disciples, grow and plant churches, raise new ministries, pursue transformative justice and seek the flourishing of all creation.
  • We want to help every member of our community grow deep spiritual roots. 
  • Our aim is to be like Jesus, becoming disciples in every aspect of our lives as we share the life of God. At the heart of this is prayer. 
  • We believe in combining study, service and a deepening life with God, but we recognise that this isn’t easy.
  • Our tutors know what it is like to face the challenges of ministry.
  • We have an excellent track record for flexible learning.
  • Each of our students has an individual learning pathway put together specifically for their needs. 
  • Our learning community is wonderfully diverse – our best learning is often from each other.
  • We work with those new to academic study to build their confidence; we can also provide stretching further study for those looking to teach, write or develop original research.
  • We are committed to rigorous academic study that deepens and enriches faith.
  • We are our students.
  • We unite Anglicans, Baptists and Independent church members in a partnership run in our region, for our region. 
  • We are passionate about training spiritual leaders contextually to fulfil their callings while staying in their local area.
  • We bring together a diverse and hospitable community to learn in face-to-face settings framed by prayer and worship.
