Hillsong International Leadership College, training college of Hillsong Church in Australia
Hillsong International Leadership College is a Christian training institution in Sydney, Australia, with campuses in Baulkham Hills and Waterloo. It offers courses in areas such as worship music, media production, pastoral leadership, youth work, dance, and counseling, taught by church leaders and professionals.
The college grew out of Hillsong Church, which was founded in the 1980s as a small congregation in the hills north of Sydney. As the church expanded into an international movement, the college was created to train leaders for churches and communities around the world.
The college is closely tied to Hillsong Church, which is known worldwide for its worship music. On campus, faith is part of daily life, expressed through shared prayer, worship nights, and community gatherings that bring students from many countries together.
The Waterloo campus sits close to public transport and the city center, while the Baulkham Hills campus offers a quieter setting further from the urban core. It is worth contacting the college before visiting, as the facilities are primarily intended for enrolled students.
The college draws students from dozens of countries, meaning many different languages can be heard on campus on any given day. This international mix turns the learning experience into a meeting point between very different cultures and life stories.
