Knowledge, expertise and experience are inherent in Christian Heritage College (CHC) as a community of scholars. The biblical principle of generosity (e.g. Proverbs 11:24-26) demands that CHC share knowledge, expertise and experience not only with students, but also with members of the community who do not wish to enrol in an award course and undertake assessment.
