Vision statement and values

The Queen's Foundation is dedicated to excellence in theological education and personal formation by:

• Nurturing and equipping Christians in their discipleship
• Preparing people for mission and ministry in lay and ordained roles
• Resourcing research that serves the mission of God in the world

We celebrate unity in diversity, in a community that is international, multi-cultural, and ecumenical. We aim to enable Christians to deepen their spiritual life, to grow in a faith that is generous, enquiring, deeply rooted and creative in thought and practice, and to be passionate for God's work in God's world.

Building on our history, celebrating the gifts and resources God has given:

• we are committed to honouring, celebrating and respecting the different traditions of our three sponsoring churches and learning together what it means to be faithful to our roots while growing into new ways of being church;
• we strive to be inclusive, celebrating our diversity of ethnicity and culture, committed to learning more just and truthful ways of being the Body of Christ;
• we seek richer and deeper ways of working with and contributing to the life of other Christian communities and other partners in the region;
• we aim to fashion our teaching and learning drawing on the best practices of adult education, helping all to be responsible participants in their learning, valuing openness and searching enquiry;
• we aim to nurture communities characterised by habits of gracious acceptance, openness, respect, honesty, and challenge, which are rooted in prayer and are open to the disturbing and comforting Spirit of God.
