History

Established in 1970, Grace College was jointly funded by the Methodist and Presbyterian churches in Queensland. The College is now an agency of The Uniting Church in Australia (Qld Synod) and The Presbyterian Church of Queensland; and is an affiliated residential college with The University of Queensland.

The naming of the College was a declaration of the founding bodies’ earnest hope that the College would be a community of learning based on Christian foundations. For Christians, grace is the rich, deep, undeserved, unearned, utterly generous love of God. It is a central idea in the Christian faith. The grace of God prompts the deeply human response of gratitude and generosity towards God and God’s Creation. The Christian calling is one of seeking to love and act as generously as God does. Love and generosity are at the heart of the Christian community. They are also important human values shared by many traditions and perspectives.

The community of Grace College today is multi-cultural and multi-faith/perspective.
