Queen’s College

Visit our College Website

Queen's College is the Theological Center of the three Anglican Dioceses in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Originally, (way back!) Queen's was a center created to train men for Ordained ministry in the Diocese of Newfoundland. yes, you read that right. We are thankful that times have changed.

The College has shared in the generational journey of the Church, often leading,challenging and guiding our way forward through some pretty  tumultous times.

Queens continues that legacy,and has a deeper ministry of preparing all people of every gender and of every belief ,age and context to discern rich pathways forward. 

Our College provides an inclusive motion, innovative teaching,and a community brought together on campus or through online technology.

  Visit the college website. It is filled with possibility and inspiration!

 If you are feeling a sense of vocation in any way, talk with your clergy,or reach out to the Bishop!

A Bit of History

Queen’s College was established in 1841 as The Theological Institute by The Right Reverend Aubrey George Spencer, appointed in 1839 as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Newfoundland. His successor, The Right Reverend Edward Feild, re-established The Institute in a new building and named it Queen’s College in honour of Queen Victoria and The Queen’s College, Oxford, his alma mater.  Its prime purpose was then, and is now, to offer training leading to ordination.  Since that time the College has expanded its programs to include persons who wish to pursue the study of theology without seeking ordination.

The Faculty consists of full-time and part-time members.  A network of trained supervisors,  in Clinical Pastoral Education, Supervised Practice of Ministry and Parish Internship programs, also form an integral part of the College’s programming.

Queen’s College celebrates its past with thanksgiving and anticipates its future with hope.
