The Bible College, Melbourne was established by the Churches of Christ in 1907 in Carlton, Victoria, by Henry George Harward (died 12 April 1944),[1] with Alexander Russell Main, MA (died 13 October 1945),[2] as lecturer.

In 1910 the college moved to a new building on a 5 acres (2.0 ha) property in the township of Glen Iris, re-established as the College of the Bible, a wholly owned institution of the Churches of Christ.

He was succeeded around 1938 by one of the lecturers, Thomas Henry Scambler (died 31 October 1944)[6] and in 1945 by E. L. William, MA.

It changed its name to Churches of Christ Theological College in 1989 when it moved to 44-60 Jacksons Road, Mulgrave and in September 2011 changed its name to Stirling Theological College in honour of former graduate and vice-principal, Gordon R. Stirling, who ministered in all Australian states and in New Zealand; after retiring he became editor of The Australian Christian.

[citation needed] In November 2022 the college announced that it was leaving the University of Divinity on December 31, 2022.
