Inspiring a richly fulfilling inner life
Faith is deeply personal and we encourage every boy to explore it
Spiritual life isn’t limited to the weekly times allocated to being in a place of worship. We grow spiritually in the daily experience of connecting with God. It liberates us by bringing us the deepest knowable peace and comfort. Hilton College is a Christian school, inspired by the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. We are serious about his call to “love our neighbour as ourselves”: With our non-denominational nature and respect for people of all faiths, our intention is for every boy to feel at home and safe to develop spiritually.
Our chaplain is Reverend
Sean McGuigan
Sean is amazed by God’s grace. By God’s grace, he has found true joy in following Jesus. By that same grace, he has enjoyed 25 years of marriage to Sarah-Jane and is father to Grace and Benjamin. And by God’s grace, he has served as pastor in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa for 20 years, 15 of those as an ordained minister. He loves preaching the gospel and believes one of life’s great gifts is witnessing God’s grace at work in someone’s life. Sean holds a Master’s degree in agricultural economics and a Bachelor of Theology. He is also a keen kayaker and a lover of the outdoors.
