Studying at AC has enriched my understanding of God, his kingdom and love for people. The classroom is a place of empowerment and empathy where open communication and thought is welcomed by fellow students and world class lecturers. This wonderful sanctuary has helped me transform my Christian worldview, deepen my understanding of who we are as God's people and renewed my hunger for his influence through us as world changers.

Zoran Radevski

Bachelor of Theology

Studying theology is way more than gaining head knowledge, it helped me clarify WHAT I believe and WHY I believed. It also changed me in other areas of life – for example, in my business, instead of needing to have all the answers immediately, I’ve learnt to ask the right questions and analyse situations without jumping to conclusions. It’s helped me become a better leader.

Jemima Gleeson

Bachelor of Theology, Business Owner, Glee Coffee Roasters, Preacher, HopeUC

I’ve watched people around me grow in confidence, but it’s a confidence mixed with humility, and that’s been a direct result of studying in the environment at Alphacrucis.

Darlene Zchech

HopeUC, Senior Pastor and Worship Leader

Anyone who wants to disciple people also need to be in an environment where they can grow.  Anyone who's got Alphacrucis as a part of their journey is better off for it.

Mark Varughese

KingdomCity

I’ve learnt about a lot about God - who He is and His love for humanity. I now better understand my purpose in Him and how we fit in the big picture. One key thing I will always remember is that it's not just the jobs we do, it's how we live our life. Besides serving at church, I also work in the courts on cases related to family violenceSharing God's love is so needed in that area, and living the gospel is about loving people where they are, and through that changing their lives for the better.
