A Church Reforming to Reach the Lost for Christ

Christian Reformed Churches of Australia

murrary2Murray Capill has lectured in the pastoral ministry subjects (preaching, pastoral care, worship and leadership) at the Reformed Theological College in Geelong since 2001. From 2001 to 2005 he was also part-time pastor of the Christian Reformed Church of South Barwon, and prior to that he was pastor of a Reformed Church in Auckland, New Zealand for 10 years. From the beginning of 2008 he has been Principal of the RTC. Murray is a graduate of the College, and also has a Doctor of Ministry degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in California.

His work at the College allows him to invest in the lives of people training for various areas of ministry. In particular, it gives him the opportunity to help the next generation of pastors, preachers, church leaders, church planters and evangelists to know God’s Word well and minister it with accuracy and urgency. It is God’s Word that changes lives. And when it is ministered faithfully it never returns void. Our vision for the advance of the gospel in Australia and beyond must be a vision for God’s Word to be spread – unleashed! We need a multiplication of Word-centered ministries and a great army of men and women who are mighty in the Word and effective in ministering it to others. We particularly need a new generation of Spirit-empowered preachers who know the Word and know the times in which we live, and can speak the former into the latter
