12 Reasons to Study at Crossway College 20

Thank you for taking the time to read

this prospectus.

Crossway College is a multi-campus,

independent, evangelical and

interdenominational Bible and

theological college. It exists to equip God's people in Bible and

mission. For nearly 70 years the College has prepared Christians

for ministry. Many have become pastors and teachers, while others

are serving as missionaries in Australia and overseas.

Our vision is training for transformation. As a college we want to be

transformed for God's purpose, working towards the fulfilment of

the Great Commission. We desire our students to be transformed

through God's Word and Spirit, so that after graduation they are

engaged in ministries of transformation in the church and across

the world.

Various programs are offered and we welcome residential, non-

residential, full-time and part-time students. If you are eager to take

up the challenge of discipleship and God's call to mission, I can

assure you of a warm welcome, a vibrant community and a great

learning experience at Crossway College.

From the Principal

Crossway College is a diverse and cross-cultural community of Christians.

Men and women from a variety of backgrounds, traditions and

denominations study at Crossway. This diversity occurs within a context of

Christian unity. All are deeply committed to Jesus Christ, the truths of the

Scriptures and working for the fulfilment of the Great Commission.

We endorse the following statement:

In essentials, unity

In non-essentials, liberty

In all things, charity.

Beliefs foundational to the Christian faith are taught with conviction as non-

negotiable and unity is expected in relation to them. There are, however,

issues which are secondary or peripheral to the Gospel. Faculty, staff and

students may have different views in relation to such issues as they relate to

one another in a context of unity and mutual respect.

Vision

Our vision is to see Christians, transformed

by God's Word and Spirit, engaging in

ministries of transformation in the church

and across the world to the glory of God.

Ethos, Vision and Values

2

The College seeks to uphold the following foundational beliefs:

The Scriptures, consisting of the Old and New Testaments in their entirety, are

the inspired, written Word of God, and have been given by God to the church

as the final authority for what we are to believe and how we are to live.

There is one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who share together

equally and eternally in the one being of God.

God is the creator of all things.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

is fully God and fully human, in

one person.

Jesus Christ lived a sinless life,

died in the place of sinful hu-

man beings, and experienced

bodily resurrection before as-

cending visibly to heaven.

All humans are sinners through

disobedience to God, and are

separated from fellowship with God until given new life by the Holy Spirit.

The only way for men and women to be in a right relationship with God is

through faith in Jesus Christ, who, through his sacrificial death, has done all

that is necessary for God to forgive us our sins.

All Christians are indwelt by God the Holy Spirit who empowers us for spiritual

growth and ministry.

The church, as the body of Christ, is made up of all who are joined to Jesus

Christ through faith, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status or

denominational association.

Jesus Christ will return personally at the end of the age when there will be a

bodily resurrection of all people, followed by judgment leading to eternal life or

eternal death.

Graduate Attributes are the characteristics, attitudes and skills that students should

possess upon completion of their training program at Crossway College. The training

programs at the College are geared towards achieving these outcomes. They reflect

the vision, values and ethos of the College. They also communicate to the wider

Christian community what it may expect from College graduates in ministry and

mission.

Crossway graduates are expected to demonstrate the following attributes:

1) They will be passionate disciples of Jesus Christ.

Graduates will maintain a vibrant relationship with God, be passionate about following Jesus, and walk

by the Spirit in every area of life. They will seek to love God above all else and others as themselves in

attitudes, words and deeds. They will be imitators of Jesus, obey His Word, deny themselves, take up

their cross and follow Jesus wherever He may lead (Mark 8:34).

2) They will have a sound knowledge of the Bible.

Graduates will have an in-depth and comprehensive knowledge of the Bible. They will be committed to

the infallibility and authority of the Bible as God’s Word in everything pertaining to salvation and the

Christian life (2 Tim 3:14-17). They will do their best to be good teachers of the Bible who correctly

explain the word of truth (2 Tim 2:15).

3) They will have genuine humility and demonstrate faithfulness in life and ministry.

Graduates will live lives of holiness, humility, prayer and faithfulness. They will be willing to acknowledge their

shortcomings and mistakes, and be open to receive constructive criticism and advice. They will do nothing

out of selfish ambition, but in humility will consider others better than themselves (Phil 2:3). They will be

prepared to suffer for the sake of Christ, knowing that “we must go through many hardships to enter the

kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22).

4) They will be effective communicators of the Gospel.

Graduates will know the Gospel and will be eager and able to communicate the Gospel, especially in word,

but also through writing and other media, in ways that are culturally sensitive and intelligible to others. They

will have compassionate hearts, listening empathetically to people in their particular contexts. They will be

ready to preach the Word at any time with patience and care (2 Tim 4:2), trying to persuade people to believe

the Gospel and to become followers of Jesus (2 Cor 5:11).

5)They will have a great commitment to God’s mission.

Graduates will be aware of the needs and opportunities of local and global mission. They will endeavour to

see the coming of God’s kingdom in every sphere of life, strive for justice for the poor and work towards

community transformation. They will be passionately committed to and will be active in working towards the

fulfilment of the Great Commission, to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:18-20).

6) They will be committed to team ministry

and servant leadership.

Graduates will be committed to the local church as the

family of God and as their context for ministry and base

for mission (Heb 10:24-25). They will work

enthusiastically and cooperatively with others in ministry

teams. They will be open to Christians across various

evangelical denominations and churches (Luke 9:49-

50). As leaders they will be disciplemakers, following

the Lord Jesus in serving, leading by example, and

training and mentoring other leaders (Mark 10:43-45).

7) They will be competent in basic ministry skills.

Graduates will be competent in basic ministry skills, including preaching, teaching, leading and caring for

people. They will use their gifts to implement constructive change in the church and community (1 Tim 4:6-

16). They will be culturally attuned and flexible in dealing with a range of issues (1 Cor 9:19-23). They will

embrace accountability and maintain professional standards in various contexts. They will be “salt and light”

in the world (Matt 5:13-14) and be able to “prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of

Christ may be built up” (Eph 4:12).

8) They will be committed to lifelong learning and personal growth.

Graduates will be proactive in expanding their knowledge and abilities. They will be open to new challenges,

be willing to face unfamiliar problems and accept wider responsibilities. They will continue to grow in faith,

knowledge and maturity, “forgetting what is behind and pressing … toward the goal for the prize of the

upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13-14).

PROJECT (8 cps) - pre-requisite for research degrees (MTh, ThD)

The Master of Divinity (MDiv) is open to students who hold a uni-

versity degree in a non-theological discipline. The course provides

an integrated and systematic program of biblical and theological

study, beginning with a foundational knowledge of the major disci-

plines of Christian theology, including biblical languages. Once those

foundations have been laid it provides advanced-level studies in

biblical exegesis and major theological doctrines. Students may

choose electives in biblical studies, pastoral ministry and cross-

cultural mission.

This degree prepares people for a Bible teaching and leadership role in the church or in a pastoral or

cross-cultural ministry context. It also prepares students for advanced degrees in theology and ministry.

Most denominations recognise this degree as fulfilling the academic requirements for ordination, but may

require additional training to meet their denominational requirements for ordination. Mission organisations

generally recognise this course as adequate training in biblical studies for missionary service, particularly

for those preparing for a Bible teaching ministry in the church.

1. Significant history

Founded in 1943, Crossway College has an established, recognised and respected track record for training Christians for ministry and mission. It has had a

significant impact in Queensland and beyond.

2. Ideal location

The Toowong Campus is situated on 2 hectares of land in the foothills of Mt Coot-tha, only 10 minutes from the CBD. Anzac Memorial Park adjoins the college and nearby are the Botanical Gardens, public transport, shops, churches, libraries, schools, recreational facilities and ministry opportunities. It has an ideal study environment. The Rothwell Campus is located on the Redcliffe Peninsula within easy reach of the Sunshine Coast. Many recreational activities, including fishing,

swimming, cycling and walking tracks, are in close proximity.

3. Evangelical theology

Convinced that the Bible is inspired by God and that it teaches the truths central to evangelical Christianity, the college unashamedly promotes them in its academic

programs. All faculty and staff adhere whole-heartedly to the authority of the Bible.

4. Interdenominational ethos

Students, faculty, and members of the Board of Directors of the college represent a wide range of Christian denominations and churches. Essentials are affirmed; non-essentials are challenged; exposure to

alternative points of view promotes balance.

5. Accredited courses

Our ACT awards are fully accredited by the Office of Higher Education Queensland and are recognised in

Australia and overseas.

6. Academic excellence

A significant proportion of the faculty have earned doctorates; all have qualifications in excess of the awards which they teach. Faculty regularly publish

with prestigious publishers and academic journals.

7. Spiritual formation

Academic excellence is not enough. The college is concerned for the spiritual development of its students through mentoring, private devotions, pastoral care, fellowship groups, prayer sessions, chapel services

and active involvement in a local church.

Students gain practical ministry experience through Field Education, involving supervised ministry skill development, an annual one or two week mission in Australia or overseas, and through courses which include strong practical components, such as Preaching, Prayer, Evangelism and

Mission.

9. Missionary emphasis

While the college prepares students for a range of ministries, it is committed to providing a program which mission agencies endorse as appropriate for cross-cultural missionary work. A Ministry Awareness Program broadens student horizons by exposing them to Christian

organisations serving in Australia and overseas.

10. Distinguished graduates

Graduates of the college serve with many mission agencies, churches

and para-church organisations.

11. On-campus accommodation

Units are available for couples and married students with children at the Toowong Campus. Accommodation in single rooms is available for other students. Living on campus offers enrichment through Christian community, the motivation of a study environment, and the opportunity to

make lifelong friends.

12. Reasonable cost

Fees are set by the Australian College of Theology. Austudy is available to eligible full-time students for the majority of courses. Fee Help is also

available to Australian citizens.
