A Message From Ps. Brad Bonhomme
CERT IV & HIGHER EDUCATION ONLINE TRAINING HOSTED IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH
"The need for biblically and theologically sound leaders has never been greater. Running an LCC brings world class teaching to your people each week. With AC providing content and assessing, you can focus on contextualising and applying the material to your setting. The result is leaders who carry your heart and culture. Running an LCC will create a pipeline of leaders to build your church and reach your community."
PS. KAY DOHLE
Director of Church Partnerships
WHAT IS AN LCC?
An LCC is a ‘Local Church College’ - in other words a ‘pop up college’ hosted in your church. An LCC is a vehicle for you or your church liaison to be involved in the training and equipping of your leaders in your local church context, while utilising world class content and teaching from AC.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Alphacrucis (AC) provides your students with quality online course content. AC marks all the assessments - so you or your liaison do not need formal academic qualifications to run an LCC.
Students gather once a week for 1-2 hours for discussion and application of content, in whatever ‘pop up college’ setting you choose: as casual as the coffee shop or a lounge room or as sophisticated as your auditorium or training rooms.
Mentoring is provided by your church leadership, helping students who study to apply their learning to their lives and also to your local church context. All courses include subjects that require practical ministry experience - so students get to serve and reflect on ministry areas in your church.
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT?
An LCC enables you to participate in the forming of your leaders. An LCC takes the stress out of content creation for your leaders, so that you can mentor effectively. Your leaders will benefit from formal study in many ways – discipline is created, mindsets are challenged, lives are transformed and characters developed. Students can gain accreditation for the subjects completed and go on to further study in the future if they choose.
Raising up leaders is the privilege and responsibility of every local church.
Our refreshed Diploma of Leadership and Diploma of Ministry courses will now include key input from a range of experienced ACC Pastors.
Pastors involved include: Wayne Alcorn, Mark Varughese, Darlene Zschech, Matt Heins, Brad Bonhomme, Steve Penny, John Hunt, Cameron and Renee Bennett, Ken Lee and Andy Kirk.
Discover how easy and beneficial it is to run a diploma course at your local church by talking to us today.
AC wants to partner with your local church and help you effectively train and disciple your people for Ministry and Leadership.
We are confident these courses will benefit you and your church because the content and practical elements of the courses can be applied from the outset to your local church setting.
