WHY A CHRISTIAN MBA
Grow your capability without compromising your values.
Churches, businesses, and community organisations need leaders who can manage finances, develop people, govern responsibly, make strategic decisions, and navigate change. Good intentions matter, but lasting impact also requires strong management capability.
The proposed Alphacrucis Master of Business Administration (MBA) brings rigorous business education into a Christian learning environment. It is designed to help you lead with greater competence, integrity, and confidence — strengthening the organisation you serve, progressing your career, and creating better outcomes for people and communities.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for Christians carrying real leadership responsibility.
Church business managers
For paid or volunteer managers who keep churches operating well — overseeing people, finances, governance, risk, systems, and organisational growth.
Pastors growing as managers
For pastors and ministry leaders who want stronger business, financial, and organisational skills to lead healthy, sustainable churches and ministries.
Christians building business careers
For professionals seeking career progression, broader management capability, and an MBA environment where Christian faith is integrated rather than set aside.
Not-for-profit and NGO leaders
For people improving charities, schools, health services, NGOs, and community organisations through ethical leadership, responsible stewardship, and evidence-based practice.

Has the MBA been approved?
The five proposed courses are awaiting the final green light from the Alphacrucis Accreditation Board. Course handbooks and precise application information will be published after approval. Registering your interest is not an application or enrolment.
Who is the course for?
The proposed courses are intended for experienced and emerging leaders across business, education, healthcare, churches, not-for-profits, and community organisations. Final admission requirements will be published before applications open.
What could an MBA help me do?
The proposed MBA develops advanced capability in strategy, finance, governance, communication, organisational behaviour, innovation, and evidence-based decision-making. The two specialist awards apply that learning in education and health services contexts.
What are the entry requirements?
Final entry requirements are still subject to approval. The current proposal anticipates entry through a recognised bachelor degree or equivalent, with alternative consideration for applicants who have substantial professional experience. Confirmed requirements will be published before applications open.
Can my AC Graduate Certificate in Leadership count towards the MBA?
The proposed pathway is intended to recognise AC’s four-subject Graduate Certificate in Leadership as 40 credit points towards the MBA. This would reduce the remaining MBA study by four subjects.

How will the MBA be delivered?
The current proposal includes online study through the Global Online Timetable and in-person delivery options, with some intensive delivery possible. Final modes, locations, and timetables will be confirmed in the approved course handbooks.
