Leadership Courses

Transform your leadership to transform your world.

The world needs more authentic, Christ-centred leaders that lead with integrity. Leaders who can guide us through the challenges of our rapidly changing times and bring real transformation to the world. Our programs are designed with this in mind.

AC really equipped me to start Chaplaincy Australia in its early years, and empowered me to develop things (key to its success) like its values and organisational structure.

Anne Iuliano

Founder, Chaplaincy Australia, Senior Pastor, LifeSource Christian Church

The Master of Leadership is like you’ve found where you hang your hat and coat – things start to make sense. The leadership program has helped me to re-think how I mentor and train people to fulfil their God given destinies.

Iliafi Esera

Senior Pastor, Faith City United Churches, General Superintendent of New Zealand AOG, New Zealand Order of Merit 

The Leadership course helps us to process new ideas and build to a greater understanding of our role as Christ-centred leaders.  I was encouraged to think analytically and given freedom to question assumptions in a safe forum. The class discussions are highly engaging and relevant.

Helen Kobakian

LifeHouse Church

Every subject of my Leadership studies has proven helpful. I've applied Organisational Change models and Strategic Thinking frameworks into strategies to address challenges in our sector.  Reflective Leadership Practices has appreciably helped my growth as a leader, and Integrating Faith and Work has allowed me to reconnect my faith to my vocation by showing me my role as co-labourer with God to bring His Kingdom to my workplace.

Andrew Mills

Head of People Strategy, Projects and Change, BaptistCare NSW & ACT

What I'm learning at AC is so relevant to my leadership context and helps me gain clarity and practical tools for my staff meetings, sermons, and strategic meetings. Online learning means I can work at my own pace, and the material is too good not to engage with it. I wasn't ready for the Master of Leadership 10 years ago, but I'm so thankful I'm doing it now before it's too late.

Pathways

You can start with a shorter Graduate Certificate of Leadership with 4 core subjects:

Authentic Leadership

Navigating leadership challenges effectively requires a nuanced understanding of contemporary theories and a solid foundation in Christian values. This unit prepares students to dissect historical and modern leadership approaches, emphasising the impact on not-for-profit sectors. You will learn to apply these insights practically, enhancing both self-leadership and team leadership capabilities.

Raising Christian Leaders

This subject equips you with the tools to develop Christian leaders effectively, blending biblical models with modern strategies in mentoring, modelling, and coaching. You will critically assess the dynamics between leaders and their teams in various contexts and explore how spirituality, authenticity, and trust influence leader development. This comprehensive approach prepares you to shape leaders who can make impactful contributions globally.

Organisational Leadership

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, leaders need tools to rethink and redefine how they achieve goals and inspire teams. This unit focuses on analysing and enhancing organisational structures to lead change effectively. You will delve into systems thinking, develop high-performance work systems, and navigate the complexities of organisational culture.

Governance, Law and Ethics

In offering a comprehensive view of governance across various sectors, including corporations, not-for-profit organisations, schools, and churches, this subject will equip you with the skills to evaluate governance structures, understand the roles and development of boards, and engage effectively in policy debates. It is ideal for anyone aspiring to enhance their governance acumen and contribute to organisational integrity and effectiveness.

Then decide if you want to build further to a Master of Leadership, with a wider range of subjects across Bible, Ministry, Theology, or Business. You can also start with a Graduate Certificate of Professional Supervision, then build towards a Masters of Leadership.
