Murray CMurray Capill has lectured in the pastoral ministry subjects (preaching, pastoral care, worship and leadership) at the RTC - Melbourne since 2001. From 2001 to 2005 he was also part-time pastor of the Christian Reformed Church of South Barwon, and prior to that he was pastor of a Reformed Church in Auckland, New Zealand for 10 years. From 2008 through 2019 he also served as Principal of the RTC. Murray is a graduate of the College, and also has a Doctor of Ministry degree from Westminster Theological Seminary in California.  He currently also serves at dean of students at the RTC.

His work at the College allows him to invest in the lives of people training for various areas of ministry. In particular, it gives him the opportunity to help the next generation of pastors, preachers, church leaders, church planters and evangelists to know God’s Word well and minister it with accuracy and urgency. It is God’s Word that changes lives. And when it is ministered faithfully it never returns void. Our vision for the advance of the gospel in Australia and beyond must be a vision for God’s Word to be spread – unleashed! We need a multiplication of Word-centered ministries and a great army of men and women who are mighty in the Word and effective in ministering it to others. We particularly need a new generation of Spirit-empowered preachers who know the Word and know the times in which we live, and can speak the former into the latter.

Organic Outreach

Most churches would agree that evangelism is a priority. The CRCA declares that reaching the lost is central to its calling as a church: we are a church reforming to reach the lost for Christ. But so few churches and Christians are bearing fruit. In fact, most churches are either maintaining the status quo or are in decline.

Shift

Shift is all about movement – with the help of one another and the power of God to reach our broken places and move ever closer to living a life worthy of our callings as churches and leaders. Leadership development begins with acknowledging and trusting the process and the people God uses to grow us.
