Get to know our College Chaplain – Rev Warwick Grant

It has been a privilege to be the Chaplain here at St Andrews Christian College since March 2017. Prior to St Andrews I was a Chaplain at another school for 12 years and I previously had a long involvement in youth ministry in the Anglican Church in Melbourne.

But the focus of my ministry is not me! It is to point people to Jesus, and to live for him, which is what his followers should seek to do.

At St Andrews Christian College, I am involved in many different aspects of College life. I assist with class Bible devotions when I can and teach Biblical Studies to Year 2 – which is great fun! Assisting with Secondary sport each Wednesday afternoon and participating in some of the class excursions and camps gives me many opportunities to build relationships with students. I also attend the VCE Boys’ Chat & Pray group on Fridays. 

It is a privilege when members of the college community – be they students, staff or parents – wish to speak with me about a matter of concern.  It could be a substantial issue, or it could simply be that a student needs a short time to step out of a class to speak with me.  Such conversations are in confidence and if further external help eg. counselling, is needed, I will direct people to that. 

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can serve you or your children. My email address is wgrant@standrews.vic.edu.au and my direct phone line at the college is 8847 8316.
