Over recent months the Executive Teams and boards of ACOM and Stirling Theological College have been meeting, dreaming and praying together.

With prayer and discernment we have sensed the complementary nature and history of our colleges. In the spirit of unity we have committed to explore working more closely, with the possibility of coming together as one college. We believe that we would be stronger together, as we jointly serve our students and churches, along with our networks and partners in ministry training and formation.

ACOM and Stirling College are excited to announce that we are coming together to deliver courses in 2023!”. Our new partnership will open a broad range of learning opportunities for students that are relevant to life, church, the workplace, and contemporary culture.

As we work towards the official merging of the two colleges, we are also excited to announce the launch of the Stirling School of Community Care within ACOM, which will offer awards in Christian Counselling, Professional Supervision, Chaplaincy and in time, Pastoral and Spiritual Care.

We want to assure Students from both ACOM & Stirling that your study plans will continue as usual, with the added opportunity to choose from a number of new units and study options as well as the chance to study side-by-side with students from both Colleges.

More information will be made available in the new year with regards to the new units, awards, and study options. Our team of SEM’s & Student Support staff will continue to provide guidance for you in your current study pathway as well as the additional options opening up to you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.

We are thankful for God’s grace and the collaborative spirit of the Stirling and ACOM teams as we navigate this exciting new chapter of our colleges.
