Land was purchased at 81 Namatjira Drive, Waramanga in Canberra and the Alliance College of Theology was opened on November 20, 1977.
By then, there were now full-time and part-time students attending the College as well as the continuing TEE Programme.
Given the size of the C&MA in Australia and our ethnic and cultural diversity, there were many issues to consider in order to most effectively prepare men and women for service in the kingdom of God.
Under the leadership of Rev Ming Leung and his Deputy Director Diana Williams, the College Programme sought to connect ministry training and the local church together.
In 2017, the school became a member of the Australian College of Ministries and was renamed Alliance Institute for Mission.
