Our College: A History of the National College of Australian Christian Churches

Since its inception in 1937, Australian Christian Churches (Assemblies of God in Australia) has transformed from a small, fragmented sect, into a substantial denomination with far-reaching impact. This book reveals that its national training institution, Alphacrucis College (formerly Commonwealth Bible College then Southern Cross College), has been integral to the unity, vitality and growth of the movement. The college became a locus of a burgeoning supply of church planters and missionaries, as ‘new’ Pentecostal alumni took the lead in renewal and visionary faith. Building on its solid heritage, while meeting the demand of changing demographics, tighter government compliance and evolving church structures, Alphacrucis College has grown to become one of Australia’s largest and most productive dual sector Christian colleges for higher education and vocational training. Our College will provide inspiration to all those seeking to equip others or to be equipped for the work of Christ on the earth. Published by Australasian Pentecostal Studies
