Name of “Iona Columba College”

Iona is a small island off the western coast of Scotland, where St Columba began his mission to Scotland. Iona has recently become a significant Centre of Christian life in the daily lives of people from different church backgrounds and across cultures. Reverend Dr Sang Taek Lee (the founder of this college) visited the Isle of Iona and explored the Celtic monastery while researching the role of the church in modern society and it was here that he was inspired to name the college Iona Columba College based on the spirit of prayer, study and service.

Purpose

Iona Columba College’s purpose is to produce Christ-following disciples who create and serve God’s church, and evangelise and change the world through Christian values. ICC educates people to prepare for their vocation and to further develop their knowledge and ability so that they can serve this world as God’s church leaders.

ICC has a unique ministry and theology course which aims to:

  • equip people for leadership
  • to train people to serve the church and
  • prepare people to be sent out into the world.

ICC gives an opportunity to all people to learn regardless of religion, culture, race or gender. They give priority to the dignity of people and values of personality rather than the monetary desires of modern society. Iona Columba College promotes an international curriculum and support for student diversity including teaching for both international students and national students.

We want to educate the people of the Korean community in Australia, the Korean Diaspora in the world and anyone who wants to join us and learn and develop their future.
