Mission

Mission to the university, missionaries to the world:

  1. Empower students to thoughtful, creative, genuine and evangelistic mission to the University of Tasmania.

We seek to fulfill our mission and vision with a dependence upon God's power, and according to the methods he gives us:

  1. Clear, persuasive Christ-centred proclamation of the Scriptures.
  2. Prayer according to the promises of God.

  4. Loving willingness to serve, sacrifice and change for the good of others.
