Uniting College/Adelaide College of DivinityDeveloping life-long disciples and effective leaders for a healthy, missional church; women and men who are passionate, Christ-centred, highly skilled, mission-orientated practitioners

Welcome to Uniting CollegeWe are a diverse and supportive community of scholars and practitioners passionate about faith, the church and God’s mission. We believe God has gifted everyone for ministry and service and our approach to education is best summed up in 1 Corinthians 12:4 which says,

‘There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service’.

Our courses are taught with a commitment to scholarly and practical excellence by a faculty who reflect a love for the church and the world God loves. Our collective knowledge and beliefs create a rich learning environment where students grow.

We deliver vocational education and training and undergraduate and postgraduate courses in partnership with the Adelaide College of Divinity (ACD) and Flinders University, providing ecumenical tertiary education.

Our commitment to personalised, flexible and accessible learning enables all people to deepen their faith and develop their gifts. We provide flexible study options, which includes on campus and distance learning as well as specialised field education in community settings.

We hope that through your connection with us you find ways to learn, lead and live.
