I have been pastoring for over 20 years and am passionate about the deliberate care for pastors and leaders. I love that this formal learning will better equip me to pastorally care for church leaders and pastors in the future.
Michelle Fredericks
Grad Cert of Professional Supervision, Scripture Union
My time at AC has really grounded me in having a biblical approach and worldview and I really appreciate how my lecturers share from a place of genuine experience. After graduating I hope to work in youth or community development where I can bring people together and share Christ's love with them practically.
Naomi Jale
Bachelor of Applied Social Science, Chaplain
Doing a Master of Counselling at AC helped me tremendously in being better at pastoral care situations and conversations. It has also helped me provide better leadership to the pastoral and volunteer teams across our 8 campuses. I am excited for how it can open up new opportunities for our church to reach our communities.
