Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, Missouri Baccalaureate Program accalaureate at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS) Backnowledges several streams of influence. The medieval academic tradition is part of the seminary culture, so there are measures of formality: robes that reflect various academic disciplines and certain ceremonial dimensions that are integral to this event. AGTS is firmly rooted in the Pentecostal faith tradition. We affirm worship that is celebratory and vibrant, and we welcome the dynamics of the Holy Spirit in our congregational life. We are committed to the redemptive ministry of Jesus Christ that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. These elements of the Pentecostal tradition are also integral to the AGTS baccalaureate. AGTS is committed to thoroughness in graduate theological education. Ceremonial dimensions of this event acknowledge our graduates’ significant achievements in study. The celebratory dimensions demonstrate our belief that today’s graduates are people of destiny in God’s eternal plan of redemption. *PRELUDE AND PROCESSIONAL INVOCATION AND WELCOME RENÉE GRIFFITH CAROL A.

    Alphacrucis College: The formation and development of the national training college of Australian Christian Churches (Assemblies of God in Australia)1 Denise A. Austin: Alphacrucis Director of Quality and Standards, Academic Director Queensland and Head of History Presented 27 August 2013 at the World Alliance for Pentecostal Theological Education INTRODUCTION Since its inception in 1937, Australian Christian Churches (Assemblies of God in Australia AGA) has transformed from a small, fragmented sect, into a substantial denomination with far-reaching impact. Based on oral interviews, extensive archival research and analysis of secondary sources, this paper argues that the AGA national training institution, Alphacrucis College (formerly Commonwealth Bible College then Southern Cross College), has been integral to this outstanding vitality and growth. Modelled after flourishing Bible schools in the United States and Great Britain, the college served to bring national unity, Pentecostal emphasis, missional evangelism and focused stewardship. Despite a series of crises and severe financial constraints, growth and maturity came as popular, high-profile, alumni leaders and the churches of Australia supported the vision of the college. Its faculty provided quality education in an inspiring faith environment, while building an international reputation, pioneering innovative practices and reaching independent accreditation. HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS With a vision for growth, the AGA national college was modelled on missional- focussed 19th century
