Marital Status

At Moore College, we recognise that when a married couple makes the decision to enter ministry, it is not just the student who needs to prepare for this, but their spouse as well. This is why we are committed to learning in community at Moore College. It is for this reason that we request your contact details. We want to help you feel part of the community through our communication about community events, for any pastoral care reasons, and in the unlikely event of an emergency situation.
