Overview of Sydney Missionary and Bible College

n

Sydney Missionary and Bible College ('SMBC') has a vision to see thousands of loving, skilled graduates bringing the light of Christ to a dark and needy world. For over 100 years, it has aimed to achieve its vision by creating learning communities through which God prepares his people – theologically, spiritually, and practically – to serve Jesus in diverse contexts and cultures.

n

SMBC is thoroughly evangelical and Bible-centred, interdenominational in character; strongly focused on cross-cultural mission; and committed to providing a strong Christian community as the context for learning and transformation. Located in Sydney's cosmopolitan Inner West, SMBC is approved by the Australian College of Theology to offer a variety of courses at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate level.

n

The Bridge is SMBC's Bible-centred, missions-focused gap year program for 18 to 21 year olds. Located at our Roberts-Dale Campus in Croydon Park, the Bridge program predominantly runs separately to other SMBC programs that are run at the main Croydon campus. Participants of the Bridge program are able to study at diploma or certificate levels.
