Exploring the Bible's Relevance Today
The Bible has the power to transform our lives. Adam White's video shows us how to understand its message by studying it systematically: Context, Community, and Conviction. By examining an example from 1 Corinthians 11:4, White emphasizes the importance of context, urging us to consider the differences between the first-century world and today.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINISTRY AND THEOLOGY?
At AC, we offer both Ministry and Theology courses that share a common foundation in Scriptures, Pastoral Ministry, Leadership Principles, and Christian Spirituality. These core units will provide you with a strong understanding of the fundamental principles that underpin Christian ministry.
Once you have completed the core units, you will have the opportunity to specialize in an area that aligns with your interests. If you choose the Ministry courses, you will learn practical skills such as Church Planting, Worship Ministry, and Preaching that are essential for real-world ministry. Alternatively, if you opt for Theology courses, you will delve into the in-depth study of subjects such as Biblical Languages, specific books of the New and Old Testament and topics such as Apologetics.
Our courses are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to become a competent and effective minister or theologian. Whether you are looking to serve in a church or pursue a career in academia, our courses will provide you with the foundation you need to succeed.
Lecturer Insights
Ps Josh Newington shares how theology is not just an academic pursuit, but rather, it affects all of life.
Josh is the Teaching Pastor at Cornerstone Christian Church, and has taught theology at Alphacrucis since 2016. He has a passion for his community, food, art, wild places, and his family. He has thought and written about the theology of food and farming, and his studies have focused on Church History, Metaphysics and Epistemology (Regent College and the University of Divinity), Modern Literature and Political Science (Griffith University).
"There is such wisdom and insight coming from the experienced teachers. Everything lines up with the gospels and everything comes back to scripture. You are able to put everything you study into practice in your ministry wherever you are, whether you are in the community or in a church environment.”
