ARE YOU CALLED TO BE A PASTOR, LEADER OR THEOLOGIAN?
We prepare you for ministry in church, business, academic and community settings. Our goal is to help you discover your calling, and how to integrate your faith with your vocation. We'll help you develop a robust theological framework, while cultivating your critical and creative thinking skills to address the complexities of modern ministry, so you can effectively communicate the message of Christ.

“We provide a strong foundation in the Bible and theology so students have a confidence in their faith. Building on this, we equip students to ask good questions, think creatively and communicate effectively. This is so they can be successful in their chosen vocations, integrate their faith and work, but also be life-long learners.”

Theology That Transforms Your Life | Meet Abigail
Abigail tells us about her journey from Canada to Australia, and how studying a Bachelor of Theology at Alphacrucis University College has not just helped her better understand God but also transformed the way she lives.
STUDY TOURS
The Bible roars to life in our Old Testament and New Testament field study units as you experience firsthand the places of the Bible. You can travel to Israel and Jordan and see the promised land. Or to Greece and Turkey and see the 7 churches of Revelation. You get to walk through breathtaking sites where biblical events took place, and learn connections between the geography of the land to the message of biblical stories. These trips will enrich how you read the Bible!
ONLINE, INTENSIVES, BLENDED
We recognise that you lead a complex, busy life and need your study to be flexible. That’s why we offer the freedom to study through our global online campus, with live streamed lectures, state-of-the-art technology, and collaborative online community. This is part of our suite of exciting study modes like intensives, extensives, blended learning, professional development, and cross-cultural mission trips.
THE RIGHT BALANCE
Our theology courses integrate a well-developed foundation in Christian Studies with a broad and coherent theoretical and practical knowledge in theology and biblical studies. This includes exploration of the Christian tradition as developed historically and within faith traditions. It also includes studying the primary texts of the Christian faith (Old and New Testaments) with reflection on how those texts have been interpreted both historically and in contemporary readings.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Step into leadership, pastoral ministry, local and international social justice work, aid and development, chaplaincy and teaching positions in colleges and churches. Or if you’re already working, you can enrich your understanding of the gospel while you continue in your professional career.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINISTRY AND THEOLOGY?
AC’s Bachelor of Ministry and Bachelor of Theology have the same core units, giving you a firm foundation in the Scriptures, Pastoral Ministry, Leadership Principles and Christian Spirituality. You can then choose to focus your study in specialist areas:
Ministrycourses involve hands-on subjects such as Church Planting, Worship Ministry, and Preaching.
Theology courses involve in depth subjects such as Biblical Languages, New Testament and Old Testament Studies.
