Ok, seeing everyone has mentioned seminaries in North America it's time to recommend a great seminary in Australia (because I work there )!

It is Trinity Theological College. We are reformed with an emphasis on integrating the head, heart, and hands specifically for ministry at the coalface. This cannot be taught in the class room only but in a worshiping community where relationships are central (because God is himself relational as the Trinity).

We also have an emphasis on the 3-legged stool: exegesis, biblical theology, and systematic theology. These are too often played-off against each other, but in actual fact they are friends who need each other. Take one of the legs away, and things will collapse.
