The Alliance College of Australia utilises a model of training that connects the teaching and learning paradigm with the local church as the centre of training and development. Instead of bringing students to the College, we are bringing the College to the churches. Our culture today is a rapidly changing one and those training for ministry need to be able to respond to the needs and issues of the community around them. In partnering with the local churches, the training seeks to be relevant to that particular church in that particular community, taking the principles of Biblical teaching, leadership development and ministry practice into each learning community.
