The Australian College of Ministries (ACOM), a tertiary Christian educational institution that is a member institution of the Sydney College of Divinity, delivers accredited theological studies at both undergraduate and postgraduate award levels.

Overview

Owned by the Churches of Christ in NSW, the college delivers a mix of online education and face-to-face delivery.

The college integrates academic studies, skill-enhancement competencies and character-formation[1] ACOM's model of training has been noted by a scholar[2] for its commitment to the integration of theory and practice, situated learning and the role of the mentor in student learning.

In its four schools (Bible, theology, leadership and spirituality), ACOM houses a faculty with a focus on leadership and teaching.[3][4] This faculty serves over 1100 students across Australia (comprising, 300 undergraduate and 180 postgraduate students) and has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

History of ACOM

The college was formed as the result of the 1999 merger of Kenmore College (Queensland) and the Churches of Christ Theological College (New South Wales).
