In the charity's own words
The aim of Veritas College is to equip pastors and other leaders in the church in competencies to effectively interpret, apply and communicate Holy Scripture. The College meets the pastors in their own context allowing them to continue supporting their own churches and families and not taking them away for residential training that is more costly and sometimes out of context for the pastors.
