The St Bart's Training Centre has been established to help achieve our mission as a church to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ.
That means we're serious about seeing people built up, encouraged, continuously growing, and sent out. To help achieve this, our Training Centre offers a range of regular courses and special events (see below), including the Ridley Certificate. We also provide online resources available below (in addition to weekly sermons, small groups questions, and family resources). If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact (training@stbarts.com.au)
Upcoming Training Centre Events
Tuesday Nights Beginning February 9

A Lenten Study Guide taking a closer look at God’s Kingdom in Luke’s Gospel
Growing and following Jesus takes a whole community, but parents (& carers) play a particularly important role. Purposeful Parenting is an initiative of St Bart’s, aiming to encourage, equip, and resource parents in their role as key influencers in discipling their children.
Reading the Bible is a fundamental way we hear from God, understand how he has acted and continues to act in our world, meet Jesus and grow our relationship with God. A recent study by Lifeway* found that children who regularly read the Bible were most likely to remain faithful followers of Jesus as young adults.
At this workshop, Bettrys and Amy facilitated the next instalment in our ‘Purposeful Parenting’ workshops on “Actively Discipling our Kids“.
RE/QUIP is our annual young adults conference for people in their 20s and 30s. The keynotes, workshops, and Q&A sessions focus on proclaim, work, and serve.
