Student Stories

"Alphacrucis University College helps you to empower others by instilling the kind of care for people as exemplified by Christ."

Anne Iuliano
Founder, Chaplaincy Australia, AC Graduate

The evidence-based teaching at AC has helped me develop a more intelligent approach when counselling people in sensitive areas such relationship breakdown and addictions. It has really transformed the impact of my ministry.

Brad Middleton
Senior Minister at Churches of Christ WA, AC Master of Counselling Student

I wanted to help others and started the same degree at a public university but a lightblub came on when my  lecturer said that our worldview affects everything we do in this job.  At that moment, I realised I needed to find a new place to learn that aligns with my worldview. I found Alphacrucis and I have never looked back.

Abigail Comafay
Bachelor of Applied Social Science

“I really liked putting into practice what we learnt in our practical hours. I also liked that our trainers and facilitators gave clear examples of their own chaplaincy experiences to illustrate what we were being taught. I felt part of a family within our cohort.”

Alan Findlay
Chaplaincy Graduate
