theological education

This week at Hilton Church we have been celebrating UHI formally becoming THE UNIVERSITY OF THE HIGHLANDS. Hector Morrison and Jamie Grant (Principal & Vice Principal respectively of Highland Theological College) are both leaders in our congregation, and have made a substantial contribution to this important milestone. In recent years, HTC has become an approved training centre for Church of Scotland ministers, and this in turn has led to a much greater level of partnership between highland congregations and theological eduction. This has enabled theological training to be earthed much closer to home, rather than students having to move to a city like Glasgow to train. HTC has come a long way over its 17 year history, and we pray that it will continue to flourish and equip the Church for service both nationally and globally.
