Student Stories

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.

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.
