Dr Rebecca Loundar
"My time studying at AC has enabled me to preach better, pastor more effectively, and has helped to cultivate an even greater love for the word of God. I have learnt that it is important to grow in our development and understanding of the Bible, but it is incredibly valuable to do so with a Pentecostal lens. Our heritage as a movement is crucial to who we are and how we minister to others. As a Pentecostal bible college, AC offers the opportunity to grow in knowledge of the word of God and equip me practically for ministry."

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINISTRY AND THEOLOGY?

At AC, we offer both Ministry and Theology courses that share a common foundation in Scriptures, Pastoral Ministry, Leadership Principles, and Christian Spirituality. These core units will provide you with a strong understanding of the fundamental principles that underpin Christian ministry.

Once you have completed the core units, you will have the opportunity to specialize in an area that aligns with your interests. If you choose the Ministry courses, you will learn practical skills such as Church Planting, Worship Ministry, and Preaching that are essential for real-world ministry. Alternatively, if you opt for Theology courses, you will delve into the in-depth study of subjects such as Biblical Languages, specific books of the New and Old Testament and topics such as Apologetics.

Our courses are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to become a competent and effective minister or theologian. Whether you are looking to serve in a church or pursue a career in academia, our courses will provide you with the foundation you need to succeed.
