Choosing ACCS

The College builds into students’ lives by guiding and counselling them as they prepare to share the Word of God wherever their ministry takes them. ACCS students come from different churches from different locations, each with a different calling, and are yet unified by the love of Jesus Christ and His people.

ACCS delivers

  • Impressive facilities,
  • Qualified and dedicated staff,
  • An exciting and God-centred curriculum,
  • Scripture-inspired instruction,
  • Admirable standards of academic and spiritual excellence,
  • Encouragement and support with community-based interaction.

Choosing a Bible college is a life shaping decision. A well-chosen course and college can set you on a pathway to a productive, rewarding and fulfilling vocational life. Even for those who are studying out of interest (rather than with ministry goals) the decision offers great reward.

Whatever your motivation, preferred delivery method or specific qualification goals, ACCS can help you reach your highest potential.
