Theology Courses

Thinking better with Theology.

Theology allows you to critically examine life and faith through the study of scriptures, theological traditions, and historical contexts. With deep roots in our Pentecostal faith, and in the church’s mission in the world, AC is committed to bringing biblical and theological wisdom into today’s world.

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.

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.

HopeUC, Senior Pastor and Worship Leader

Anyone who's got Alphacrucis as a part of their journey is better off for it.

Mark Varughese

Senior Pastor, KingdomCity Church

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.

Celeste Katherveloo

Master of Arts

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.

Accreditation

Our courses meet the theological requirements to be a minister in any church in the Australian Christian Churches movement.*

Our graduates have gone on to work as pastors, church planters, evangelists, teachers, worship leaders, chaplains, counsellors, missionaries and leaders in industry and not-for-profit organisations.

Theology or Ministry? 

You can choose to specialise, or you can combine both!

At AC, our Theology and Ministry courses share a common core in Scriptures, Christian Spirituality and Pastoral Ministry. These core units will provide you with a strong understanding of the Christian faith and its application to the world today. Beyond the core units, you have the opportunity to specialise in an area that aligns with your interests.  

If you focus on Theology, you can choose from a wide range of subjects – delve into specific books of the Bible, go deeper into Theology subjects like Apologetics,  Salvation and Christian Ethics, or get a grasp of Hebrew and Ancient Greek to understand the original languages the Bible was written in!
