Celebrating our graduates!

We are proud of the dedication, hard work and ability to juggle life, study and often ministry demands of our students. We celebrate those who have recently graduated at Immanuel College Chapel in Adelaide and St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne and those who are soon to graduate in Perth and Brisbane in the coming weeks.

In 2026, we have 20 EBC students graduating through University of Divinity of whom 11 have been able to or plan to attend one of these ceremonies in person. The awards achieved range from Diploma in Theology all the way through to Doctor of Philosophy. While many of our graduates are commissioned officers and Auxiliary Lieutenants completing their required formation studies, others are more experienced officers who return to study to equip them for ongoing ministry or further study. However, we are not a closed “training college” only for officers. Our current student base extends to soldiers, employees and people involved in other Christian denominations. This broader student base adds a richness to our learning environments and perhaps you can start to picture yourself joining us one day. Once again, congratulations to our current graduates. We celebrate you!

We are also grateful for the incredible gift of music shared by the Melbourne Staff Band at St Paul’s this year. What a wonderful sound in the cathedral which was welcomed and appreciated by the university community.
