Our History | Flinders Christian Community College

Of Faith and Vision

The First Forty Years

Co Authored by
Valerie Mason & Jeanette Woods, 2023

The importance of storytelling in the life of a community should never be underestimated. One of the great storytellers of the 20th Century, Walt Disney, noted that stories could restore order to the imagination and inspire hope again and again. Our 40th Anniversary publication "Of Faith and Vision" is a narrative of hope - a story emanating from humble beginnings inspired by the love of God. The early pioneers of the College dreamt of a school that would see the Gospel of Christ and excellence in Christian education combine to bring hope and purpose to students across the generations.

As former Heads of Campus, authors Valerie Mason and Jeanette Woods have exceeded their scope to bring vitality to the history of the College. In the wake of their transformative legacy within the College, they have captured the intricacies and given words to a narrative that speaks of God's grace in all its forms.

In the generations to come, may Flinders Christian Community College continue to be a source of hope and purpose through Christian education by bringing glory to God and ensuring that which may be known of him will indeed be known.


In Christ’s service,

Cameron Pearce
Executive Principal
