What could God do with you?
That's the question Mary Andrews asked herself in 1915 when, as a young woman from Cooma, she was so convicted of God’s will for her life that she went alone as a missionary to China. For nearly ten years, she taught, ran evangelistic meetings, and visited the sick.
When she returned to Australia, she poured that same conviction into training others, serving for over 20 years as Principal of Deaconess House, later renamed in her honour as Mary Andrews College.
Reflecting on her life, Mary Andrews said, "The measure of what you can do for the world will be simply what you let God do with yourself."
This remains our conviction.
At Mary Andrews College, we offer robust, relevant and accessible theological learning to help women and men to further God’s will in their lives.
With 10 accredited courses through the Australian University of Theology, as well as non-accredited options and single units for more flexible learning, we offer training for every stage of life. Almost all units are available in a hybrid format, where online students receive the same care as in-person students.
Our lecturers are world-class, with many years of experience in scholarship and ministry, and they're passionate about helping you grow, whether you’ve undertaken lots of formal education or are new to learning theology.
If you want to deepen how you live out the gospel in the service of others—at home, at work, in your church, in your community—then Mary Andrews College is for you.
What will you let God do with you?
“The measure of what you can do for the world will be simply what you let God do with yourself.
With most of us, God can do so little because we are so little between his hands. That Jesus really wants me and needs me is the wonder and strength of my life. He has met my every need and in him I am fully satisfied.”
