Living on campus means more than simply having a convenient place to sleep and eat. A residential community is about intentionally spending time with others in a timetabled context where many of the practical aspects of the college are done together.

A discipleship community is a place where you come to terms with your own expectations and what it means to live with others who see the world differently than you do.

We recognise that as individuals we are comfortable in our own space and the way we do things, but community living provides the kind of personal growth you can't obtain by any other means, especially when dealing with people from other cultures.

In practical terms living at Worldview not only involves time for you to engage in classes and study, but also contributing to the running of the college. This is about doing duties every day and doing practical work around the property every Wednesday afternoon.

Duties mostly involve working in the kitchen mornings and evenings, cleaning various public spaces regularly or working on the farm. Duties take about 90 minutes each day and are done in small teams.

Students in the past will remember a time when learning took place either in makeshift classrooms in the original homestead building or in the dining hall, where it would be transformed to accommodate for larger events like Singspiration every month, or for Commencement and Graduation services.

Today staff and trainees make good use of our education block where the main library lives, alongside a number of classrooms. Adjacent to the hallway is the auditorium, a generous space that's used every day for worship and prayer.

Previously the location of the property's stables, these old structures would make way for a dining hall that could accommodate the growing number of students in the 1960s.

Affectionally called the "dining room", this communal space has been the college hub where relationships have deepened, God's will been sought and great food experiences been appreciated by some or endured by others.

We often get asked, why eat together? It would be simpler and move convenient for all staff, trainees and volunteers to prepare their own meals at whatever time suited them. However, our value for community and discipleship is such that we choose to sit around tables daily, because we appreciate the deep qualities of sharing a meal with others who are different to us.
