DEVELOPING CHRISTIAN LEADERS FOR A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD.
Over 20 years ago, ACOM made the shift from being a campus-based college to a dynamic and flexible online-learning community. We developed a groundbreaking transformational adult-learning approach tailored to each individual’s personal needs and learning style – where your place of work or ministry is your campus.
OUR HISTORY
The Australian College of Ministries (ACOM) is an international provider of life-changing, ministry training experiences.
The College has two institutional members:
/ Churches of Christ in NSW, and
/ Christian and Missionary Alliance of Australia.
Originally birthed over 75 years ago (1941) as the Churches of Christ in NSW Theological College (Woolwich, Sydney) ACOM has produced thousands of graduates serving as ministers, evangelists, lay leaders, welfare workers, teachers, missionaries and church planters.
Originally a campus-based residential college, ACOM now specializes in flexible delivery. It is a hybrid of distance learning experience mixed with targeted face-to-face student support through formation groups and themed workshops.

I have found ACOM to be a great vehicle through which I have been able to explore deeply my faith, the Gospel, and how faith community can help fulfil the call of God to love, reveal Himself and see transformation take place in all aspects of life. Brenton’s Story
ACOM’s focus on head to heart is fantastic. It’s not just theological study for the sake of having all the right answers, it’s life-changing theology, and it absolutely changed my life. Emily's Story
Outdoor Education is a very rewarding vocation.
As a facilitator you use adventure as a catalyst to un-earth and affirm the very best things about people, create an environment in which they can express their experience and witness the start of a new chapter in their life - a new story filled with more courage, hope and confidence.
A life to the full! Andy's Story
This year has been a gift from God. It has been a time to grow in understanding of my true self and reflect on my journey thus far with my Heavenly Father. It has been full of study, new friendships forged, retreats, laughter and lots of chocolate. Recharge has focussed me on seeking freedom and recapturing joy in my life. Christ has truly set me free and I am filled with his joy. Lynda's Story
