[2][3] The college is located in North Adelaide, South Australia on the corner of Ward and Jeffcott streets.

The campus includes a number of single and shared accommodation blocks, a library, a refectory as well as educational facilities.

[4] Prior to its use as a seminary, the site was used for three different schools or colleges - the North Adelaide Grammar School from 1854 to 1882; Whinham College from 1882 to 1898, during which time a boarding house (now Hebart Hall) and a gymnasium-lecture hall (now the main part of Löhe Memorial Library) were built; and Angas College, owned by John Howard Angas, son of South Australian "patriarch" George Fife Angas and operated as an interdenominational missionary training school until the army took possession of the site for a repatriation hospital in 1916.

As this is the only LCA seminary, students come from all over Australia and New Zealand and most live in nearby ALC accommodation.

The school attracts a constant stream of international students, primarily from Asia and the Pacific region.

The STS is the school which provides theological training for lay people - those not studying for ordained ministry.

The ALC provides accommodation for up to 96 tertiary boarders (and single students studying at ALC), the majority coming from the surrounding areas such as the Barossa Valley, Mid North, Riverland, Eyre Peninsula, Murray Mallee and Mount Gambier/South East.

The library contains historical artefacts and a large collection of journals and theologically-based books and material and is mainly housed in Whinham Hall, which was built in 1882.
