| faculty and staff A college's primary resource is people and the faculty is the foremost of these. Each of the permanent faculty has shown in their ministries in local churches and in their teaching, an integration of spiritual nurture, Biblical and theological understandings and ministerial leadership. They have developed competence in their own discipline and maintain close contact with the life of the church at congregational and conference levels. Each is readily available to students. Stirling maintains a policy of providing periodical leave so that faculty can engage in continuing research and competence in their fields of specialisation, as well as continuing experiences in congregational ministry. Our close association with faculty from the other teaching institutions of the Melbourne College of Divinity leads to shared research and continual development of Biblical and theological understanding integrated with high levels of spiritual maturity and ministry skills. Adjunct faculty also bring understanding and skills developed through their professional life and their involvement in local churches. Many of our adjunct lecturers and tutors are currently ministers and leaders in Churches of Christ. Click on the names below to find out more FacultyMerryl L Blair,
