Who are our students

Men and women come to study at SMBC from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds including such professions as teachers, plumbers, doctors, nurses, electricians, information technology, corporate business and rural sectors. 

Some of our current students are:

Andrew and Kylie

Kylie and I have come to SMBC from sunny Queensland. I worked as a civil engineer for five years and prior to College we both worked with AFES at the University of Queensland. Kylie and I are keen to learn more about the Bible (we have enrolled in the Master of Divinity) and how to share it with others. At this stage we are not sure where we will be serving God – but are willing to end up anywhere!

John

I grew up in Casino, Northern NSW. Since graduating from university, I've done high school music teaching as well as mission work in Asia. I am presently doing mobilisation for the Pioneers organisation. After graduation from SMBC, I hope to return to Asia to work amongst the unreached.

Christine

Trepidation, anticipation, expectations...this is how I am currently feeling as I leap in to SMBC. I have spent the last four years working as a social worker at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital which I've loved but am now looking forward to this new phase in life. With regards to the future, I can't wait to see where God takes me!

Nathan and Kate

I live in Baulkham Hills with my wife Kate. We are really looking forward to studying at College in preparation for missionary service, possibly in South America. We are currently worshipping at Castle Hill Baptist and enjoy teaching Sunday School.
