In addition to being the largest self-accrediting Christian liberal arts College in Australia, it is the official training college of Australian Christian Churches, the Assemblies of God in Australia. The College has campuses in every state capital city in Australia, campuses in Auckland and in Finland, and registered sites of offer in other places. Its main campus in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia. The College has programmes running in various colleges and churches around Australia. The College was founded in 1948. AC offers several courses in ministry, business, music, chaplaincy and counselling; accredited by the Australian Skills Quality Authority.[1][2] It is also a self-accrediting higher education institution,[3] authorised to provide a range of theology, ministry, business, leadership, and education degrees up to doctorate level,[4] baccalaureate and postgraduate programs in counselling, and a Korean language programme.[5] The college ethos is based on an evangelical Pentecostal/Charismatic orientation. In 2018, the college had an Equivalent Full Time Student Load of over 1000.[6]{{failed verification|date=November 2018}} HistoryAC began as "Commonwealth Bible College" in 1948 in Melbourne, after an abortive attempt by Henry Wiggins to set up the college in the 1930s.[6] In 1949 the college moved to Brisbane,[6] first to New Farm, and in 1961 to a purpose-built campus on the Brisbane River which was destroyed in the 1974 Brisbane flood.[7] After a year of temporary operation at Glad Tidings Tabernacle in Brisbane,[7] a new campus was obtained and refurbished at Katoomba, New South Wales in the former Palais Royale guesthouse.[8] The facilities of the Illawara Bible College were later added to the campus. The college remained at Katoomba until 1995.[7] In 1993 the name was changed, first to "Southern Cross Bible College" and then to "Southern Cross College of the Assemblies of God in Australia Ltd"[7] (not to be confused with Southern Cross University). From early 1996 to August 2011, the college was at Chester Hill, New South Wales.[7][9] For a period during this time, the college was associated with the Sydney College of Divinity.[10][11] On 27 April 2009 at the Australian Christian Churches National Conference, Southern Cross College officially changed its name to Alphacrucis. The new name derives from the star that sits at the foot of the Southern Cross constellation named Alpha Crucis. The principal, Stephen Fogarty, says, “Alphacrucis is the brightest star in the Southern Cross, and it’s at the foot of the cross. […] We want our students to shine brightly at the foot of the cross.”[12] In September 2011, AC relocated its main campus to 30 Cowper Street, Parramatta, Sydney (formally opening it in March 2012[13]); and also re-opened its Brisbane campus at the site of iSEE CHURCH – 308 Seventeen Mile Rocks Road, Seventeen Mile Rocks, Brisbane. In early 2014, the AC Brisbane campus relocated to 35 Thompson Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane – on the grounds of Hope Centre International. In 2016, it opened its own campus in Woolloongabba, to which it has since added campuses at Melville Street, Hobart, and in Melrose Park, Adelaide. In December 2017, the other official ACC College, Harvest Bible College, merged with Alphacrucis College.[14] Faculty and researchThe faculty of Alphacrucis includes over thirty staff with doctoral level qualifications, and currently employs 180 staff in all.[15] The college has set up the Australasian Pentecostal Heritage Centre, which includes the largest online repository of historical Pentecostal journals in the Southern Hemisphere – including issues of the Australian Evangel back to 1927. They have also created a refereed journal, Australasian Pentecostal Studies. As of 2018, the college library had over 100,000 volumes, and extensive electronic collections.[16] See also
