Empowering Christian education in Wellington.

About the Trust

Peniel Charitable Trust is a dedicated charitable organisation committed to supporting Christian education in Wellington.

As the legal owner of the land and buildings used by Wellington Hills Christian School, we have faithfully carried a vision for a Y1–13 co-educational Christian school for many years together with Wellington Christian Education Trust. 

We work to expand the provision of quality state-integrated Christian schooling by ensuring Wellington Hills Christian College and future properties are well-resourced with buildings and property, where faith and learning thrive together and empower future generations through accessible, high-quality Christian education.

Our mission:

To expand access to high quality, affordable Christian education in Wellington by providing schools with the property and resources to grow and thrive

Our vision:

To develop a network of non-denominational, state integrated, co-educational, Christian schools providing pathways for students to Year 13 where faith and learning flourish together
