Mci Ministry, Learning And Development

Edgehill Theological College exists to serve God and the Methodist Church in Ireland through preparing men and women for ministry in God's Church.

Edgehill Theological College is a ministry of the Methodist Church in Ireland and as such seeks to reflect the Methodist ethos of being 'a friend to all and an enemy of none. ' Our hope is that all who share in the community of this College, whether Methodist or from another tradition of faith, will find themselves included, heard and respected.

Alongside provision of ministerial formation and university education, Edgehill provides a basis for Adult Christian Education and training within the Methodist Church in Ireland. The College sponsors ministerial candidates to study on the Foundation Degree in Theology for Ministry or BA in Theology for Ministry or Professional Certificate in Ministry through St John’s College, Nottingham.

It also houses the Edgehill Reconciliation Programme which is supported by the European Regional Development Fund under the Peace III Programme. The Reconciliation Programme enables the College to make a contribution to peace-building in Northern Ireland, through a range of educational, cross community and inter-church projects.
