This morning’s Chapel was a bittersweet one as we gathered to pray for and thank Leanne Hill for her incredible contribution to our community over the past couple of years. We are deeply grateful for all she has brought to our Colleges and pray for God’s blessing as she begins this next chapter.

We also heard from our Co-Executive Principal, Michael Bräutigam, who reflected on one of Jesus’ first and most searching questions: “What are you seeking?” (John 1:38).

From humanity’s lost intimacy with God in Eden to Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ, this question ultimately becomes: “Whom are you seeking?” (John 20:15).

Our deepest longing is not ultimately for achievement, success, relationships or even a better life, but for the God who made us, pursued us and loved us first. In Jesus, the way home has been opened, and we discover an identity grounded not in what we achieve, or even how well we love but in His extraordinary love for us.

Above all, we are the beloved of the Lord.

What place does prayer have in the busyness of study, work and everyday life?

In his latest Chapel message, “Prayer: No Longer a Footnote,” our Acting Co-Executive Principal, Andrew Pham, reflects on Jesus’ teaching in Luke 11:5–13.

Andrew encourages us to approach God boldly, pray persistently and trust in His goodness, even when the answer is unclear or seems slow to come.

“Whatever is on your heart, keep praying. Pray persistently and audaciously, knowing that God is good and that He loves you deeply.” — Andrew Pham

May prayer become more than an afterthought. May it remain at the heart of how we learn, serve and follow God in every part of life.

We began Chapel with a beautiful time of worship, followed by our Student Leader Georgia sharing about the heart of mission and how the Arthur Jeffery Centre is becoming a place where students are growing in their desire to step into missional work and deepen their understanding of ministry among Muslims.

We then heard a powerful message from Dr. Kirk Franklin:
“Revering our Treasure in Clay Jars.”

You can watch this message and all our Chapel messages on our YouTube channel.

What a joy it was to celebrate the graduation of our students from Melbourne School of Theology and Eastern College Australia 🎓✨

Recently, we gathered as one community to recognise the hard work, perseverance, and growth of our graduands. Two colleges, one community, united by a shared passion for learning, formation, and serving God.

From lectures and late-night assignments to friendships, formation, and ministry preparation this milestone represents so much more than a qualification.

We are deeply thankful for each student and the unique calling God has placed on their lives. It has been a privilege to walk alongside you during your studies, and we look forward to seeing how God continues to lead and use you in your communities, churches, workplaces, and ministries.

Congratulations, Class of 2025, we are so proud of you! 👏

From coffee and conversations on arrival, to worship in Chapel, a fascinating talk with Dr. Andrew Brown, morning tea, and breakout sessions, it was such a special opportunity to give future students a glimpse into life at Eastern College Australia.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today. We loved having you on campus and hope you left with a real sense of the community, learning, and faith that shape Eastern.

PS. We can’t wait to welcome everyone coming to Open Night tonight from 5pm–7pm! There’s still time to register at eastern.edu.au/openday
