Western Australia
Serving Christ’s Church by equipping her for every good work
The PST is a ministry of the Presbyterian Church in Western Australia.
What We Do
Free Theological Education for all Ages
The PST offers:
• Classes on the Bible, Christian Belief and Practical Theology, aimed at those who desire to grow in their understanding of the Christian faith;
• Teaching that is in harmony with the Bible and the Westminister Confession of Faith;
• Special talks, workshops and seminars from time to time.
In running the PST, the Presbyterian Church is seeking to foster an interest in an informed and Reformed understanding of the Christian faith, and to encourage more people to prepare for service in the Church. It is open to people from any branch of the Christian Church.
