[6] ACTC is on the Hussain Sagar canal (north) in Gandhinagar, Hyderabad, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the Secunderabad Junction railway station.

When M. Victor Paul was principal (1991–1993), Good Samaritan Evangelical Lutheran Church joined the college.

Although professors were exchanged among the seminaries, Bachelor of Divinity students attended Serampore College in West Bengal.

[a] The inaugural address was delivered by Senate of Serampore College registrar C. Devasahayam in Rajahmundry.

[21] By 1973, the college had moved from Rajahmundry to Secunderabad due to pollution from nearby paper mills.

[22] The new buildings were dedicated by Church of South India bishop Pereji Solomon in the presence of Catholic archbishop Samineni Arulappa and seminarians from St. John's Regional Seminary.

The college is administered by a board of governors composed of representatives of participating Protestant ecclesiastical societies: The college motto is derived from Ephesians 4:12, which reads in the Latin Vulgate: "Ad consummationem sanctorum in opus ministerii..."[51] ("For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry..." in the King James Version).

At ACTC, students learn their respective church doctrine in addition to general theology.

Current registrar S. K. Patro has visited ACTC to investigate the prospect of upgrading the college to a postgraduate institution.

[93] The renaming ceremony was held during the tenure of T. Matthews Emmanuel (CBCNC) as principal, in the presence of board of governors chair K. Frederick Paradesi Babu (AELC) and board member V. Prasada Rao (CSI).
